Oriental Stamp Art

Here are a couple of challenges from the Oriental Stamp Art (OSA) group that I belong to. 

 

 





This was Challenge #238 which was to use something like an acrylic block or other object that when stamped will create a highlighted background shape upon which you stamp an image, this is what I came up with.  The stamps are from Mark's Finest Papers, a Heinrich Co., and the fish charm was tied with embroidery thread.

This next card was Challenge #239 which was to weave paper scraps into a type of grid and attach an Oriental object to the front.  So here is what I created.  The Lotus stamp is also from Mark's Finest Papers, a Heinrich Co.

 

 

 

 

Thank you for stopping by today and I hope you're having a wonderful day.

MFP Speedy TV - Inspiration Challenge

This week's MFP Speedy TV Inspiration Challenge #27 is all about Food.  Well I don't have any food stamps but I thought that this dragon looked a little bit like the snake image so this is what I came up with.

I stamped the dragon in Memento Tuxedo Black and colored with Copic Markers.  The background paper is from the Graphic 45 Birdsong Collection and of course the amazing dragon stamp and the Good Luck sentiment are from the Lucky You stamp set by Mark's Finest Papers, a Heinrich Co.

Be sure and check out the challenge at  http://marksfinestpapers.blogspot.com/ and get started.

Friends of Speedy TV

 

 

I am entering this in the Mark's Finest Papers Friends of Speedy TV Monday Challenge which is to create a card using something metal.  I have used one of Tim Holtz's Ornate Plates.  I also used a Cheery Lynn Designs Lattice Frame 2 which I cut out two sections of the frame to accent the plate and also the stamped "harmony" Kanji.

 

I hope everyone has a wonderful and safe Labor Day tomorrow.  Thank you for visiting my blog.

 

Hugs & Blessings,
