Friends Always
I was playing around with LAD's Far East set a couple of days ago. This is one of the "Asian-like" cards that I came up with. The layout kind of reminded me of a Japanese kimono.
PP is from Prima, button's Creative Cafe, and ribbon is from May Arts. There are tiny silver rhinestones on each flower, and Fun Flock detail on the lantern.
For my favorite detail, though, you have to look a little closer. I inked up each of the stamps, and in order to mimic the rustic-ness of the PP, I took the tip of my scissors and removed ink in straight lines going in all directions. It makes the main image look older and "scratched", as if it were painted. I thought it was kind of cool! :)
Anywho, I'm off to get a bit of shut eye. I can barely keep my eyes open! Till next time...
