Asian Delights

Welcome to Mark's Finest Papers a Heinrich Company's 
    July Blog Hop! 

This month's New Stamp Set Releases are
Asian Delights Featured July 17
Wild & Free Featured July 18
Garden Art Featured July 19
Hot & Spicy Featured July 20

I have made 3 cards using the Asian Delights set.  Some look far better in real life than they do here and getting photos was a challenge.
The first one, a simple card, uses embossing powder on the oriental symbols with silver outline sticker strips and some oriental paper.


My second card uses the VLV week 2 sketch for July with some gilding flakes on the oriental ladies.  It was a very difficult card to photograph.  I took a close up photo too so you can see the ladies better.


My third card uses the faux window technique and I am entering it in this weeks Jugs challenge.
