Oriental ATC's

I am part of a Yahoo group called About Oriental Art (AOSA). We make an ATC each month, then send them to the winner of a drawing/lottery. I won for a month, and it is a blast to receive ATC's from many talented artists from all over the world!!!

   July 2017- theme is Geisha's

 Geisha's are Art Neko/About Art Accents. I used a Gelli Plate background done in reds and yellows. I pasted on strips of Washi, and the same Washi is the background for the punched 'Good Luck' image.

June 2017 theme-Things With Wings

 The cranes/birds are Art Neko/About Art Accents.


May theme Anything Goes:

This image is by Sparkle and Sprinkle.  I stamped the floral image in Versamark ink & embossed using clear EP.  Then, I dabbed colors onto the craft mat and ran the paper through it.  I dried between layers, and love the way this ink layers- so pretty IRL!  I added a little Asian Kanji in the background. 

April 2017 theme- Chrysanthemum

Image is Art Neko/About Art Accents

March 2017 ATC theme Samurai:

 I am not sure where this unmounted image is from- lots of Copic coloring and some Washi tape for this one. 

Feb ATC- was a recipe- 1) purple, 2) hearts 3) Washi

 This is a die from Frantic Stamper and is cut out using Washi Papers. 

That catches me up to date I think!  January, I was the winner of the ATC lottery, so I did not make one- the theme was lanterns- it was a blast receiving ATC's all month long!!!

Thanks for stopping by!

Fish Mingle

Something is fishy this month- and it is a mingle over at the About Oriental Stamp Yahoo Group.  We can use fish image, and there has to be a stamped item. (And, it has to be Asian).

 I placed an order recently with Frantic Stampers, and received some Scrapbook Stickers- the fish being one of them, I added it over a Simple Sumi background- that was a Technique Junkie scrap : )  I used Basic Grey DP, added a rub on from the Target dollar spot (it is the design on the left side).  The floral image up on top and the sentiment is from Clear Dollar Stamps (sadly, now closed).

 My partner, JB sent me this lovely card

 I love the fish image, and all of the pearls on the background she added.

I am trying to get to blogs- slowly but surely!  More appointments to make- hoping to get in the creative space later in the afternoon : )

I have recently been on the go alot more than before, and have found Instagram- easy to browse on the go.  Are you on Instagram?  If so, leave a link to your Instagram so I can follow you there!

Thanks for stopping by!
