Thank you Denise (DB) for the above 2 ATC's which you have clear embossed loving those stamps.

Hi Elizabeth this is your Blue Fairy ATC the stamp is from 'Beach Bum' and you embossed it with Holographic powder which is new to me... we learn something every day. Thank you.
I am sorry for the smudges on the mirror card the scanner really does not like this card... In real life they are lovely and a very clever idea. Whoever receives one in their swap will not be disappointed with it I promise you.

Thanks Linda.
