With Love...

Hello my crafting friends, a Good Thursday morning to you all. I hope today finds you all well and enjoying your craft whatever that may be.

Most people who know me will know I adore anything Oriental so when Crafters Companion bought out their Kimono range I was a very happy Bunny! I do have quite a lot of Oriental craft products but do not tend to make much with them as I don't like using them lol! I want to keep them, this range I adored because it was more Contemporary, something I had not seen before in Oriental design. I did stop myself from buying the whole range and settled on the stamps, CD Rom and three dies.  One of the dies, the Peacock I had used HERE. 

For today's post I used one of the stamps along with one of the papers from the CD.

I started with my base card a 6"X6" scalloped card and matted and layered this with Rich Plum card and the patterned paper off the CD. Onto White card I stamped my image, the Bird Cage and the sentiment and coloured in the Woman with Promarkers.

 

Using the Auvergne die I cut the image out and using the same die to emboss some Rich Plum card then cut round the edge of that to form a base for the topper to sit on. I attached both of these to the top of my card.

To finish the card I added three Black gems in two opposite corners and lined the inside with the same paper adding a panel for writing on out of the Rich Plum and White card.
