More ATCs!

Here are the ATCs exchanged in July by my friend Janice and me. My card is made with colored tissue paper affixed to watercolor paper. I cut out the shapes freehand and used 
acrylic matte medium as a glue and a sealer. I have a special thing for day lilies, which Janice remembered, and she wasn't surprised that I used them as my subject.
Janice's card, entitled "Light from Shore is a Beacon of Hope", is built on a braille paper which Janice has hand stamped, hand colored and embellished. The light house is cut from a stamped image and glazed.
We had both begun our August cards when I visited her this week, but have yet to exchange them!
During my visit, Janice introduced me to the idea of storing my ATCs in a baseball card album! I plan to cover and decorate my album - looks like I'm into a new art form!!!
