Wednesday Stamper- Asia


This is only quite small as it is a little out of focus. I can't use the flash on it so it appears blurry. This is my entry for WS Asia. Its a bit of a cheat ATC really as I have no Asia stamps at all. However, at the weekend I got these two bits from one of my team. They are stamped & the Geisha is coverd with glaze before being cracked. The fan is also stamped. I jsut added a corner scroll from my own stamp set. Background is an offcut from my distress inked pieces I made before I went away.
I can't get back into challenges & am struggling to get round all the blogs I missed as I am shattered. I started with a cold before I went away & it is full force now. So plenty of rest & quick to make art for the time being. I have a minibook to plan for all the photos I took on the retreat. We had snow the morning we arrived so were lucky it brightened up.

What an ingenious way to enter without Asia stamps, and it's gorgeous! I love the crackle over the geisha. I have that stamp, and I may have to borrow this idea.
