August 30th **Oriental Sketch Challenge** Challenge 52.
Here's my sample for Mark's Finest Papers design team. This is my final submission as a designer for the Oriental Sketch team but it was my pleasure to sub in for the talented Jane Chambers!! Welcome back Jane!! Jane will be showing her skills starting next Saturday! Enjoy!!


The image was stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink, paper pieced and colored using Copic markers. Instead of my usual Gold Leafing pen I used SILVER! lol I also love to use clear stamps because I am able to cut sentiments, etc. to be used they way I need. In this case, the Chinese writing actually had Buddha underneath it and since Buddha wasn't on the card I didn't want the word either. hehe

I used MFP stamp set "Buddha".

August 23rd **Oriental Sketch Challenge** Challenge 50 - Oriental Screen Card
Here's my sample for Mark's Finest Papers design team.


The black cardstock was cut 8.5 x 5.5 and scored at 2 1/8, 4 1/4, 6 3/8. Top of "screen" was punched out using an edging punch or it can be cut with deco scissors. The "legs" were die cut using a tag die. You can use a tag punch too. Cut and stamp your panels to fit and DONE! For complete directions you can find the Oriental Screen Card HERE!

I used MFP stamp sets "Lanterns" and "Nature's Brushstrokes".
