Origami

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!
