Oriental Favorites - Marks Finest Papers Oriental Sketch Challenge February Blog Hop - Final Day

 

Welcome to the Marks Finest Papers Stamp Shop
February Blog Hop

We're doing something different to start out the new year.  We're looking back at all the wonderful sets released in 2014.  For the next 4 days the Oriental Sketch Challenge Design Team will show you their "Favorite Oriental" sets of 2014.  Please visit each blog and leave a comment.  One person will be chosen to receive this Oriental Stamp Set.

 

Birds of the Orient

For our final day of the Oriental Sketch Challenge February Blog Hop I've chosen to use the Birds of the Orient and Works of Art stamps sets.  I stamped the background from the Works of Art stamp set in Jet Black Archival Ink and sponged it with Broken China, Salty Ocean, Victorian Velvet and Chipped Sapphire Distress inks.  Spellbinders Petite Small Oval die was used to cut the sentiment.  As an added touch I edged both the sentiment and card front with a Silver Leafing Pen.  I think this would make a great masculine card.

Welcome to Day 3.  I have never done this technique before but I did really enjoy it and will be using it again.  I chose to use the Buddha stamp set for this technique and stamped Buddha in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored  the image with Copic markers.  The sentiment was stamped with Versafine Onyx Black ink.

Birds of the Orient

I'm so glad you are joining us for Day 1 of our Oriental Sketch Challenge Blog Hop.  I have picked a favorite set to share with you, the set is called Oriental Joy.  I stamped it in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored it with Copic markers.  I stamped just a couple of butterflies, colored them with Copic markers, cut them out and mounted them in the center.  The Happy Birthday sentiment is from the Bearded Iris stamp set and was stamped with Versafine Onyx Black ink.  I used the Cherry Blossom die set from Spellbinders to add to the sides, I think it goes well with the set.
