I made this card for the Order of the Opus Gluei challenge to make something Asian. I used Core'dinations card stock, along with black, metallic gold and red. I did the border with the Stampin Up Sale-a-brate scallop trim border punch. I cut the lanterns on the Cricut with the Pagoda cartridge at a size 4. I used the Cuttlebug 5x7 Emboss folder- Bamboo, lightly sanded and painted the leaves with my Niji Pearlescent Watercolor Set. Thanks for looking, ~Diane
This card is so very elegant. I love the gold and the subtle bamboo embossing. Thanks for playing with us at Opus Gluei.

ReplyDeleteomg Diane, this is just stunning, love the lanterns and that bamboo is awesome. Hugs
ReplyDeleteLove your colouring... the muted background throws the lanterns into focus. Have to put that bamboo folder on mt wish list.

I'm with Carolann (Chat Noir), I need that bamboo folder. I wouldn't have considered it but your use and that extra punch it gives are incredible. Really beautiful card; subtle, elegant, and rich in Asian influence. Absolutely lovely! Thanks for playing with us at Opus Gluei!
ReplyDeleteCool card Diane! The embossed bamboo looks awesome! Great job with this Asian theme challenge :) TFS
ReplyDeleteThe bamboo is almost popping out... looks so real. And the leaves look so real. Wonderful card!
