I have just returned from Asia - I had a two week visit with my daughter Katie. While I was gone, the new Technique Junkies newsletter was released- so many fun new techniques!
This background was made using the Smooshed Ink Blocks technique- I used the same colors in the background as I used in coloring the image. The stamps are from the Technique Junkies line.
Here are a few pictures from my trip:
It is Chinese New Year in China- I went to Hong Kong to meet Katie:
A money tree in a mall in Hong Kong
Visiting Victoria Peak- yep- wearing shorts......
We went to Angkor Wat- Temple in Siem Reap, Cambodia
then, we visited a Floating Village S.E. of town:
Next, we headed to Thailand- went to a beach at Koh Samet, then to Bangkok.

Oh Shelly, those pictures - including you and your precious baby girl - are absolutely stunning! What a dream come true to see such incredible country and people. I'm in awe of the vivid colors in your photographs, God's blessing on a country that probably needs so much and yet they do with so little. Gorgeous, my friend. LOVE your card as well - fun-tastic technique!
