Stencils and Die Cuts with an Oriental Flair


I made this card for someone who loves the Oriental look and the colors red, black and gold.  It was easier than it may look because the tag focal came out of a book of pre-printed tags I bought from Paper Wishes.  The bamboo stenciling was done with gold dimensional paint and a stencil from The Stencil Collection and I thought it set just the right tone.  I DO like the look (and feel) of that dimensional paint on a page.

At first I drew a blank when I came to the inside of the card, but I decided these die cut shapes had a bit of an oriental feel to them and added a nice touch while still leaving room for my message.

I really like the look and feel of dimensional paint and embossing paste on my pieces as well. I love adding some kind of tactile element - opens up another experience for the project.
