Background paper swapsy?

I've finished it.. YIPPEE! 

This large piece of background paper/fabric has been on the go for some time cos I just couldn't decide what it was going to be! Over the months I've picked it up and lovingly crafted it using organza, lace, woolly bits, stringy bits, Crafty Individuals'  Time images and then put it down.

Some weeks later I daubed it with Stewart Gill paints and embossing powders here and there.  Today I heated it into a nice crisp state with yummy burnt out patches, stamped it and last of all ironed it. I'm kind of happy with the result.

It looks 2D but it's actually as flat as a pancake and I think it would make interesting ATC backgrounds. I'd like to swap two pieces for two ATCs if anyone thinks they're worthy? The first two to say "I" will get one each!

  5. Dear Debbie,
    What a stunning urban landscape. Love the urban art... What a superb grungey, textured background. If there is any left, please could I have a small piece or be considered for such?
