Lantern Mingle

I made a card for a Lantern themed 1-4-1 exchange:

 I made a background called Pulled Color from the latest Technique Junkies newsletter. I used Red and yellow/gold colors and some Pearl White Paint on the background. 
  The image is from Rubberstamp Ave. Rubber Stamps- plate A76-I won it from the Technique Junkies.  I colored it with Tim Holtz Distress markers. I added the Lace Corner die by Cheery Lynn Designs.

 Here is the card I rec'd in return in the Mingle:

 This was made by Carla Carla van der Mei from the Netherlands.

I joined a group of Oriental Art swappers.  My daughter is teaching in China for a year, so I thought it would be a good opportunity to dust off all of my Asian themed images and put them to use.

When we were in Beijing in May, we visited Ghost Street. Here is a picture:

 The streets have lanterns all of the way across- and for blocks, and there is Restaurant after Restaurant.  There are tables and grills set up outside as well, and there are people everywhere, as well as street vendors. It was a great big huge street party.

Thanks for stopping by!
