The center card, center right and top right cards were all trades received in recent ATC swaps. I am sharing these in case you venture into non-SU trades as the are quite a bit different than SU-trades. They are performance art. I did all the others- the lionfish and the needlenosed fish are done in embossing powders using Fred Mullett's techniques. Peony is done by embossing and then watercoloring with reinkers.

These are stunning, Nina! I'm especially drawn to the peony and lionfish - wow and wow! They're so intricate and vibrant! Wish there was a zoom button for the gallery. Just gorgeous! (Is that you in the corner?)

Sneaking in at work to say WOW! These are all just superb. I
don't know where to start, the creativity and originality is outstanding. Thanks so much for sharing these, and giving the rest of us a light to go by.

The lady in the corner is Judy Godwin, a very popular ATC instructor at the "A Small Cleverness" shop in Orange Park, Florida. She has a class monthly, and we make four ATC's. So I decided to make a card with her in it- a big hit. Sometimes morphing scrapbooking into cards works...
Friends are like the walls of a house. Sometimes they hold you up, sometimes you lean on them. But sometimes, it's enough to know they're just standing by.
