In addition, I chose her favorite color combination of red/white/black. I stamped the card base with two different stamps -- the bamboo stalks and the Japanese lantern -- and colored them with pale Memento markers. I stamped the Hero Arts collage onto white and then matted it in red and black. For a little interest, I added the oriental coin at the corner.

ReplyDeleteThat's certainly international - and you've got all those little Chinese characters, too. Now I wish I'd thought of Asian, I have so many stamps. Love the light, airy feel to this.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea with the stamps you had. This reminds me that I have a Japanese lantern stamp...never thought of it. Duh Your card turned out very pretty and airy.
ReplyDeleteJust beautiful. I love the soft colors along with Jo's favorite colors. It really makes the images stand out.
