I've been meaning to post this for a while now. Life keeps getting in my way!
My friend, Paola (Sama on Split Coast) is hosting an Asian card swap and these are the cards I made for the swap.
The stamps are an older, retired set from Stampin Up, not sure of the name of the set, but I just love them.
Here's a close up of the card front. I used a Stampin Up embossing plate for the card base, stamped the image with Memento Tuxedo Black onto white Mullberry paper, and fringed the edges. The ribbon is a pretty lace that I bought from a local craft store (WalMart, AC Moore or Mike's). The sanji character was cut out using my Cricut.
I colored the image with chalks, and then painted over it with Crystal Effects.
Thanks for stopping by!
