Simon Says - Oriental Mosaic

Hi,

Today's card is for the Simon Says Challenge Blogs latest challenge which was to make an Oriental (ish) card.

• Stamps: Hero Arts 'Christmas Dolls', GKD Inspiration Mosaic.
• Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black and Copic Markers.
• Card: Black Bazzill, Red and White Rice paper (from my stash), SU Riding Hood Red, White Card, Yuzen Chiyogami Washi.
• Embellishments: 3 Kaisercraft red gems, gold thread and handmade butterfly.

The base card is black Bazzill followed by white card then the red and white rice paper.

The Mosaic was stamped onto Riding Hood Red card in black ink - for this card I only stamped 3/4 of the block and flipped it to sit on my 5 x 5 inch card.

Two of the blocks are covered with the Japanese paper with a third covered with a piece of black card that the red gems were adhered to.

The image was stamped in black onto a scrap of white card then coloured with Copics. I used a Spellbinders die to cut this to size and attached it over another of the Mosaic blocks using foam tape to pop it up. Gold thread was wrapped around one long side before attaching the mosaic to the rice paper. I made the butterfly from a small piece of the same Japanese paper and attached this to the top right hand corner to finish.

Thanks for taking time to visit my blog today I hope you'll leave me a comment so I can come visit you.

Till next time
