ATC World - Oriental

What to do this month .... what to send .... I don't want to be late for this swap so I googled and pinterested and then .... my magazine arrived!  It is a superb issue this month and I emailed the Editor and told her so!!
Only one article consisted of stamps other than the free ones - really good value for freebies and ideas!!


The ideas did not include any ATCs but they could be adapted ... This little panda was stamped and paper pieced.  I used a bullrush stamp as a border and added a few red flowers at the lower edge.  I placed the crane a bit too low but didn't want to start all over again.

The next card showed a string of lanterns across the width of the card and washi tape used as borders top and bottom.  I took this theme and then added half the word statement along the lower edge.

This is my own design .... I stamped the vase in gold onto blue wallpaper and fussy cut it out.  The cherry blossom bough was stamped in brown and then I coloured the blossoms with watercolour pencils.  I stamped the symbols / words in black. 

Here are my returns ...



Beautiful Bronze Geisha.

Wonderful Vintage Geisha.

Thank you Kathleen.

Brilliant 'soap employee' card and the back has been finished with the same thought put into it - love the parasols.

Thank you Mel.
