Children-themed ATC Swap

The theme of this ATC swap was children. I knew I wanted to use a photo of my baby son's hand (who is now four). When I went hunting through all our photos I didn't find the photo I was looking for, but instead found a photo of my son's hand with my Great Nana's hand, which I just love. The photo was taken at my Great Nana's 100th birthday, it is her hand and my, then, 1 month-old boy.
Stamps: Scribble This (116406). Card/Paper: Sahara Sand (106552), Whisper White (106549). Ink: Sahara Sand (105208), VersaMark (102283). Accessories: White Stampin' Emboss Powder (109132), White uni-Ball Signo Gel Pen (105021). Tools: Heat Tool (106586), Mat Pack (105826), Daubers (102892).
The wording on the photo says, "one century and five generations apart... together". I titled the ATC, "youngest generation".
Here is some more information about my ATC:
- The Whisper White cardstock is daubered with Sahara Sand before matting onto the Sahara Sand cardstock.
- I stamped the swirl from Scribble This using VersaMark, added white embossing powder, then heat set it. When heat setting embossing on a photograph you need to heat very slowly and carefully. If it is heated to quickly the photo will be ruined with cracked lines through it before the embossing powder sets.

The faux-stitching across the top and down the right-hand side was pierced using the Mat Pack, and then I played "join-the-dots" with a white gel pen.
And here are the lovely ATC swaps that I received...
Aren't they gorgeous and so different from each other. Oops, I just realised that I have photographed the "friend" ACT swap turned landscape instead of portrait (sorry Vicky-Lee).
