Hey there,
Welcome back to my blog. Today I share a set of ATCs on Creations Scrapbook Centrale FB group. These will be exchanged with my Scrapbook Centrale craft buddies, they sure do mean 'so mochi' to me.
These are perfect for our February's challenge theme: Valentine/Friendship, and the color Red/Pink.
I just love the word play from this cute Lawn Fawn stamp set. For those who are not familiar with Mochi, here's a couple of short descriptions (from Wikipedia). Both the Chinese and the Japanese make them.

"Lo mai chi (Chinese: 糯米糍), known in Mandarin as nuomici, is a type of Chinese pastry. It is one of the most standard pastries in Hong Kong. It can also be found in most Chinatown bakery shops overseas. It is also referred to as glutinous rice dumpling. Today there are many different modern variations such as green tea flavor, mango flavor, etc.
The glutinous rice ball can be dusted with dried coconut on the outside. The outer layer is made of a rice flour dough and the inside is typically filled with a sweet filling. The most common fillings are sugar with coconut and crumbled peanuts, red bean paste, and black sesame seed paste."

"Mochi, is a Japanese rice cake made of mochigome, a short-grain japonica glutinous rice, and sometimes other ingredients such as water, sugar, and cornstarch. The steamed rice is pounded into paste and molded into the desired shape. In Japan, it is traditionally made in a ceremony called mochitsuki."

Here's the craft supplies I used to create these ATCs:
The background pattern paper is from the Lawn Fawn "What's Sewing On" paper collection pack.
Thanks for visiting. Happy crafting!!
