Asian ATC fan Swap
At the Oriental Stamp Art Yahoo group, we exchange ATC's with a theme each month. For September our theme was fans.
I stamped and embossed my fans and used Pan Pastels to color them in. I then added highlights with Copics and a Stardust Gelly Roll Pen. I was not happy with the ATC- looked blah, so embossed a little more of the base cardstock and cut it in strips, then layered on one more fan.

What a beauty- hope you can see the shimmer from the Perfect Pearls she used : )

Both the one by you and Louise are so beautiful! There's just something about an oriental fan that always grabs me because they're so pretty. Love these Shelly.

These are both very stunning Shelly!! Really love the gel pen coloring with the dark background on the second one...really striking! :)
Both fan ATC's are gorgeous. If you like to read you might enjoy Lisa See who writes Chinese historical fiction. I've read everyone of her books including the three mysteries that she started out with.
I like how you used red and stamped on the dry embossed portion. It really looks good. I too think your friend's card with the heat embossing looks so great!
Both you and Louise rocked this challenge, Shelly! I love your Oriental ATCs!
Love this design! Very clever.
These are _so_ pretty. I like the way you've treated the embossed strips on #1, with the lovely fans. I have that oriental EF and don't think I've ever used it. Thanks for showing how nice it can look on a card. Also loved the designs on #2 as well. Good job! TFS & Have a great week.
Oh both of these are just gorgeous, Shel! I really like how you give the Asian flair in crafting a whole new playing field! Both are just fabulous - ♥
Gorgeous card Shelly, I love the colors you've used and the embossed strips! Louise card is beautiful too!
Hugs, Tammy
Wow! Gorgeous work. I've always liked the oriental look. I've gotten behind on visiting blogs so I am trying to catch. Hope you have a wonderful week!
Really beautiful, Shelly! Love the stamped fans, the design, and papers! :^)
Hugs, Penny
I have to say I always love your detailed ATC's and these are just gorgeous! The fans are so pretty! Sorry to be so far behind in blog commenting!
Both are stunning Shelly! Gosh, I didn't know people were still active in yahoo groups. I just deleted my membership in my cyber clean up.
Shelly this is gorgeous. We spent 7 years in Okinawa so I always have a fondness for asian theme creations. I love the ATC your partner sent as well. Lovely work! I hope you're doing well and that you have a GREAT weekend!
