Mini New Year
If you've visited my blog before, you know that I like fun fold cards. The first one I have for you today is a side-step card. I used images from several other MFP Oriental sets on this card. I masked off a small section before I stamped the background so that I could put the "Hold On, Tiger" sentiment there. I added an Oriental coin for some interest.
The next card I have for you is also on the Mark's Finest Papers blog today. I wanted to be able to show you both tiger images from this set. I was in Joann the other day and saw this great Darice embossing folder and knew it would work well as a background for this tiger.
Be sure to check out the rest of the design team members' blogs for more inspiration. And don't forget to comment when you visit. You might just win a free stamp set from this month.
