Oriental Card

This is my Oriental Swap Card that I sent out, we had to make a card as well as send 3 stamped images used on the card. I finally used some of my Asian papers that I special ordered many many moons ago........LOL

Swap Cards Made

I joined in for a few swaps this last month tho I didn't want to post them till they were sent off to the recipient.

1. Stamp image in versa-mark ink & clear emboss

2. Tear scrap paper for layering green ink.

3. Now take a circle punch & some more scrap paper to punch a stencil for your moon

4. I think your ready to sponge all your coloring on your cardstock!

5. Last step is to stamp a sentiment & ribbon

This card was for a swap theme of "How your garden grows" its kind of fun to do these swap because it gets you thinking and your able to use some of your stamps that have been neglected! LOL 1. Stamp image, color in with your markers, pencils or water color...(I used copic alcohol ink markers for coloring my images) 2. Stipple in color for background & mount on black paper 3. Stamp potted plant, color & mount with foam tape to edge of cardstock 4. Now place on your favorite designer paper & add some ribbon

Folded Cards

These are what I've been working on the last couple of days.....since we've been having some yucky rainy weather & I've been stuck inside the house, so what better to do with my time. This first fold card was done with SU designer paper & stamps (all retired) This next card is done with thicker paper and actually holds up better.........I'm so glad that I did another one especially since this is for a swap that is coming up in August, tho cutting out these little sunflowers did take a while. Stamps used: SU (retired) See Dee's

This is part of the card unfolded........when unfolded all the way it's 12 inches in length.

Until next my splurge of creative chaos................
