Keukenhof inspiration

Happy Saturday stamping friends!

I have my friend Jill stayong with me this week

and as she is from the US I am touring The Netherlands

to show her some of our wonderful sites.

As Thursday was a beautiful sunny day we went to the

Keukenhof to see the bulbs. All the blossoms were out too

and as Club Scrap's theme this month is cherry blossom,

Jill took this wonderful picture and with Club Scrap's digital

kit I made it into this postcard.

There was also a nice oriental pat with bamboo and 

more beautiful cherry blossom trees.

So it was easy to get some inspiration for my card.

With some of the new stuf from the craftshow we

have visited I made this card.

My new panda die and

the gilding wax on a pice of black embossed paper

the card looked totally adorable.

Then one of Michael Strong's cranes stamped

on gold paper and embossed in black the

card was finished.

Thank you for looking

and have a creative day!

Kraanvogel kaart voor Mama/ Crane card for Mom

Orientaalse kaart voor moederdag met de kraanvogels van Michael Strong.

Op internet heb ik het woord voor moeder in het Japans/ Chinees gevonden en hierbij gevoegd. Dit kun je met de rechtermuisknop naar je eigen computer opslaan om te gebruiken.

De vogels zijn op papier met een structuurtje geembossed met zwarte poeder. De achtergrong heb ik gedaan met een embossingfolder en distress inkt.

Oriental card for Mother's Day with the new crane stamps by Michael Strong.
I googled the Japaneese/ Chineese word for Mother on the internet and printed it with the computer. I have added it above for you. Just do the rightmouse click trick and save the character to your own computer to use. The birds have been embossed with black embossing powder on structured paper. The background of the card is done with an embossingfolder and some distress ink.
