Mark's Finest Papers Oriental Sketch 19

Hello happy, crafty people!

Today's Oriental Sketch Challenge begins with this sketch

   

I came up with this design

Oriental Sketch #19

http://mfpspeedytv.ning.com/page/oriental-sketch-challenge-19-1-11-14

I chose to make this card with no colors other than black and white.  

The images of the Asian lady and decorative fans were free from the internet.  I added a sentimen, which is risen using pop-dots, from Inkadinkado #97858-LL and used a vine leaf stamp from Martha Stewart.  I also used my MS border punch to frame the sentiment.

Mark's Finest Papers/Oriental Sketch 11.30.13

Hi crafty people!

This card is being entered into the http://mfpspeedytv.ning.com/page/oriental-sketch-challenge-13-11-30-2013. To qualify for the drawing for a free stamp set you must use an Oriental image/character or paper that makes the card obviously oriental in nature. You can add to this sketch, switch directions, make it a square card, or add embellishments. Keep in mind that we would like the submissions to be recognizable as this sketch.

I haven't had the time or energy or patience to sit down and hook up my new printer, and unfortunately couldn't find any images that I already have that were oriental in nature.  But I did find an old ATC that I did for a swap a few years back with an oriental theme.  I flipped the sketch to the horizontal position though and added "cherry blossoms and a fan."  Hopefully it's recognizable as the sketch to the hostess of this challenge.

Simon Says Use Heather's Sketch & 613 Avenue Create Challenges

Hi - all my crafty friends:

It's time for another challenge at http://www.simonsaysstampblog.com.  This week we get to

Use Heather’s Sketch  

And  at http://avenue613.blogspot.com/2013/11/challenge-47-anything-goes-optional.html it's  

Challenge #47 - Anything Goes 

Optional Twist: Create Your Own Challenge

In this challenge you use 1-3 items from all of the columns

And this is the card that I came up with

 I actually did two versions of the card in which I didn't add Glossy Accents, lace, and the flower on the left.  I just really liked the colors that I chose (I used a very similar layout and colors on another card) 

and just love, love that Inkadinkado rose stamp.  

I think that I prefer the second version  better.

Unfortunately, I don't have a recipe to give you for the making of this card.  I'm trying to use up the bits and pieces that are scattered all over the place and my room.  But all the same, I like how it turned out.

What do you think?
