Sorry for the delay in writing up my post this morning I had an urgent mission of some shopping to do after the school drop off this morning !
This week on Simon Says Challenge we want to see a taste of the Orient so the challenge this week is ORIENTAL.
The winner of this week's challenge will receive a $25 P&P free spending spree in the Simon Says Stamp Store.
The DP is DCWV Far East "Fire". I can't believe how far this one piece of 12x12 paper has gone ! I need to buy some more just in case another Oriental challenge comes up !!
The gold card is from my stash.
The image is a Simon Says Stamp Exclusive set called "Oh Happy Day Asian Flair" I have of course coloured them with ProMarkers. The dots on the girl's dress I have highlighted with a Prisma gold metallic pen which makes the dress look really pretty. The light I paper pieced and also highlighted this with the gold metallic pen. The text stamp was from this month's Craft Stamper magazine.
I made the paper beads myself from the same DP and then edged all the edges with the same gold pen. Wow, these look fantastic in real life and I shall definately make these again, they are so easy and look so good ! The rest of the beads and gold braid are from my stash.
I had so much fun making this card. It's not usually my cup of tea but the more I got into making it, the more fun I had and I love this card.
