Mornin' y'all! I got another card made on Thursday and I can't wait to share it :)
As soon as I saw the Festive Friday challenge, I knew I would have to play along even if it meant getting up at four in the morning to stamp while Ryan was asleep. (Thankfully I didn't have to do that.) Hubs and I lived in Japan for almost three years (Okinawa, to be precise) so I have a collection of Asian-themed stamps and I will take any excuse to ink them up! Here's the Festive Friday inspo list:
I used a dragon (of course), red (Poppy Parade), gold (embossing powder), and foil paper (also gold). As it happens, I also have stamps with lanterns, fish and coins, but I had to use this teeny tiny dragon because he's my favorite. I didn't know at first what kind of sentiment I wanted to use, and I was just looking through my stamp sets when this one in Loyal Leaves caught my eye and it made me think of Mushu from the animated Mulan movie (which I adore). So there's my Chinese New Year card!
Check ya later, peeps.
Supplies, all SU! (some retired):
Stamps: Ancient Asia, Loyal Leaves
Ink: Bermuda Bay, Versamark
Paper: Basic Black, Thick Whisper White, Brights DSP, Gold Foil
Accessories: Gold EP, Hippo & Friends dies, Dimensionals, Gold Glitter Enamel Dots
