Still catching up..... I made a card or two for a Faux Silk mingle
I used a (retired) SU image, stamped on the cardstock, then on tissue paper. I had the idea to try a spotlight technique, so punched out the bird, added a scalloped circle to make it pop. The background is also stamped on tissue paper. I colored in the image by making a post it note stencil and sponging in the color.
I made a second one where the spotlight is the only faux Silk area
I added some inking and light stamping on the background. What do you think???
This is the card I received from Debbie V in exchange:
Thanks for stopping by!

Beautiful cards, Shelly. Something about oriental looking cards always makes me smile. Hope you are doing well. I am missing my card stuff being away from home and haven't had much time to color some of the images that I did bring with me. Have a great week!
These are all so beautiful. I wouldn't have thought to stamp on tissue paper for a background.
What beautiful cards Shelly, I love the Asian feel and the beautiful images!
Hugs, Tammy
Shelly, both cards are quite fabulous. I was just saying the other day, I think the Asian - Oriental art bug has bitten lots of us this spring. I just finished one the other day, hope to get it blogged about before too long. Love the stamping on tissue paper, just makes it so pretty. xoxo
Awesome cards, Shel - reminds me of when your sweet Katie was there! You are truly the queen of working with asian stamps and papers and patterns! I could pick one out of book and literally know it was yours - what a great eye for detail and design you have.
OH and Thank you for the birthday card!!! I LOVE It!!!! ♥ (and you!)
