Vase ATC

For the October Oriental Stamp Art ATC swap, the theme was Vase.  Here is the ATC I created:

  I used Distress Inks on the background, some Stenciling, overstamping with Asian Kanji. I stamped the Vase image (company UK) using Versamark and then Distress ink, and embossed it with clear EP.  I added a Sweet Stamps floral image. I stamped the image a 2nd time, and fussy cut out those little flowers and added them to the top.

Sweet Stamps has an Anything Goes challenge. Brown Sugar has a challenge calling for flowers.

 Here is the beautiful ATC I received in exchange from Sandy N. :


 The shimmer and glimmer is amazing on this beautiful ATC IRL.

I am in Ky with my parents for a few days. Wish they lived closer.......  Here is a pic of them:

Thanks for stopping by!

What a wonderful stenciled background for your gorgeous Oriental vase with its beautiful branch of blossoms! Your ATC is a real beauty!

It looks like your parents are enjoying your time together, as well! Like you, I am blessed to still have both of my parents although when I retired, we moved in two doors down from them.
