Good Morning everyone, its monday again and time for a new challenge over at Make My Monday
The theme this time is
ORIENTAL
So digging through my stash found this beautiful stamp which came free a while ago with a magazine and lovely paper pad called cherry blossom by kaisiercraft.
I didn't want to hide the beautiful papers so decided to make a different shaped card. Not sure what its called but image below shows it better. I stamped my image onto white card and various papers so i could paper piece the image. I then mounted the topper onto black cardstock.
I picked out a lovely fan paper which i thought went with the image perfectly and layered onto black card and then the card base. I used more papers and layered up and added across the middle of the card base.
All the flowers came from the paperpad too, so i cut out lots of them and arranged around the lady and on the base. Orangey gems to finish.
Showing the shape of the card from above, i was inspired by a beautiful card i was sent, i took a sheet of A4 white card and scored it 4 times in the middle and folded. You can easily change the size depending on the size of the topper etc. I used a corner punch on the outside edges.
Close up of the image. I paper pieced her with plain papers from the pad, i added extra colour to the flowers with a alcohol pen. Touches of glitter glue to the flower centres.
Items Used:
Stamps - Japanese Tea Garden freebie from Cardmaking & papercraft magazine
Kaisercraft paper pad 'cherry blossom'
Double stitched rectangle die set
