Asian Influence Cards - Warlords Card

Hi everyone and welcome to another day of Asian influence cards!

Today's card is a little different. I hope that you like it but it's a little "out there".

I used two faux jade circles and threaded orange ribbon through them.  I fastened the ribbons with jeweled brads.  The center "warlords" are punched out of a playing card (see below for details).  I then lined the punch with gold and attached it with mounting tape.

Close up!
 Here you can really see the green plastic circle I used. I got these from http://www.franticstamper.com/.  Fran has quite a few things for Asian lovers.

I punched this out from a playing card.  I bought the deck (Imperial Paintings Playing Cards)  from Frantic Stamper http://www.franticstamper.com/collage.htm .  It's well worth a look. This deck has a different print on each card and there is so much I'm going to do with them!

I hope you liked today's card. Stop by tomorrow for another Asian Influence card!

Asian Influence Cards - Cat and Lily

Hello everyone and Happy Saturday!

You can find yuzen washi papers patterns of cats. One paw is up, and the cat usually symbolizes good luck. I must admit that I like the papers but I find it hard to work with larger patterns and prints.  Today's card has such a cat pattern on it.  Hope you like it!

The ribbon I used is from Mays Arts (I love their ribbons!)  It is orange but goes well with this card.  I think that a lot of the reds that are used in washi papers have a lot of orange in them.  This ribbon seems to go well though!

Close up!

I love brass charms!  This lily is about two inches tall so its larger than what I normally can afford.  But it's SO pretty!  I got this charm from a website called http://www.fancifuls.com/ .  They have a super collection of raw brass charms and the prices are really very good.

You  will also see (on the right side of this picture) that I punched a border pattern out of gold glossy and added that.

 
Hope you liked my card today~!  Stop again because I have more!
