The Oriental Stamp Art Yahoo group is always so busy with swaps and mingles! Since I have never tried Origami....well, that I can remember anyway, I joined in the Mingle (1-4-1 swap).
I did a version of Polished Stone with hand sanitizer instead of alcohol..... I added shimmer to it with metallic ink. The image is embossed using white detail EP. I used a Gold cardstock and used an embossing folder, then highlighted the raised portion with Metallic rub ons. I used a shimmer rose paper to fold my Origami butterfly.
The very talented Sandy Nolan sent me a card- yikes- it is Gorgeous, isn't it???
I hope to play along more in the New Year- the group is so darn talented!
Thanks for stopping by!

Lovely card. The embossing is so rich and deep. Your card you received is awesome.
Loved the gold you used on your card Shelly. I am not too good at origami but this year I have been making easy origami trees galore!!
