Washi Challenge

Washi tape really challenges me. I love it, it's pretty and I rarely know when or how to use it. So this card was from a washi tape challenge and I'm very pleased with how it came out.

I put stripes of washi on a piece of cardstock and then made it a panel under my flower cut out. The flower opens to the card underneath as I was also going for a "fun fold". Although fun folds are definitely not my favorite. The flower was actually the easiest part as I just stamped a watercolor panel I had made a while back. It's always nice to get more pieces out of my scrapbox. The blue was a little more heavy handed than I would like...but that's what happens when you accidently dump out most of a bottle of paint...

Happy Spring!

Dancing Dragons

I knew when I saw this die from Spellbinders it was going to make it to my stash! I LOVE this little guy! I had so much fun creating his paper too, lots of distress sprays and inks, and some gold shimmer. The beautiful dungeon background I created with a Whimsy stamp. I used a dark brown though as I didn't want a stark contrasting dungeon. Some patterned paper to mount it and voila! The gold coin was actually a scrap from something that I just found lying in my craftermath of a desk.
