At work there are a group of crafting colleagues that meet once and set a theme for the following meet.I have only been involved once and they decided to choose oriental as the next theme. Bit of luck really having a complete set of oriental stamps never used before and stacks of oriental coins too lol. I will probably join in on occasion dependant on time(no one likes to be in their work premises longer than neccessary do they? lol)
Anyway here is my contribution - I used 2 papers from a Basic Grey stack for the background ( one of my many unused paper pads lol) I stamped and heat embossed cherry blossom on one of them . I stamped an oriental lady, coloured her using my copics and prismas. I then covered the image using mod podge for a slightly different texture. I finished it off matting and layering, a few chinese coin embellishments and edged in inka gold.
Voila finito!
Thanks for dropping by and it would be great if you followed me.
Hugz and love
Elaine aka Ellapu xx
