Art Neko stamps

I have some great news.

I have been asked to be in the Design Team

of  Art Neko Stamps.

These stamps are with Oriental designs.

As Design Team we will start in July, when 

there is a new website and a blog,

meanwhile, I will be sharing some cards

on my own blog to get your attention!

Here is my first card:

Art Neko has no coffee stamps, but Eastern tradition has a lot 

of tea cermonial, so tea stamps there are a lot! 

Will also be great for the coffe/tea hop that will be here soon.

This stamp you see here is called Table set for tea

and you can find it HERE.

As I am not very well in coloring, I used this stamp in

a different way and this is how I made the background:

First the paper is colored with fossilized amber distress

ink and a blending tool.

Next I cut out of a piece of scrap a circle and

used this as a mask to color the sunset with

carved pumpkin distress ink and a blending tool.

This was too plain for me.

So firdt I coverd the sun with a paper circle and on

top I put the rays stencil and colored again with 

fossilized amber distress ink.

Now the panel was ready for stamping.

I stamped the image on top with black onyx

versafine ink.

On the finished card you see the teapot is colored

vintage brown. I cut it out from a piece of scrap paper

and added it with foam tape, to give the picture some 

dimention. With glue a few sequins are added.

Thank you for looking.
