Washi Shapes for Chinese New Year

I am in Hong Kong today, so thought it fitting that I make a card for Chinese New Year (which is 1/31).

 I used a Michael Strong Kimono die and mounted it on dimensionals with a piece of Mulberry like cardstock I bought in China last year as the backdrop. I used a Copic Marker to color a piece of Silk Ribbon for the sash. The Kanji says Happy New Year. I cut toothpicks for the top and the bottom of the banner. 2014 is the Year of the Horse.

 This is such a fun way to use Washi and a fun new way to look at your dies. We'd love to see what you create!

Tricia Here!  Here is a CAS Valentine Card I made using this Week's Try That Technique - Washi Shapes.

I pulled out my trustee Quickutz...haven't used them in a long time...Love this font and heart shape.

I embossed the background with the Stampin Up! Rose.  Hope you will join us! 

Have a crafty night !

Washi Shapes

Hello friends.  It's Beth Norman, here with this week's technique, "Washi Shapes."  I wanted to experiment to see how this technique would work with a large background die, and was pleased with the results.  I used my signature bright colours for my Washi Shapes.

Although this technique was zippy quick, my card took me two hours because I spent time on You Tube watching videos learning how to colour skin and clothes with my underused Copics.  Tricia, one of our Design Team members, works with them beautifully and encouraged me to follow You Tube.

My bow tied up pretty.  Some time ago I won blog candy from Shelly, another DT member, and included in that was a big bag of ribbon and a bow maker.  So back to You Tube I went to learn how to use it.

So, my card was inspired by others, along with this week's technique.  Lot's of experimenting for me.

I hope I inspired you to try something new.

Try That Technique - Washi Shapes

Hey Junkies, Tricia here with this weeks' Try That Technique - Washi Shapes.

This is an quick, easy and AWESOME technique...I LOVE IT. 

I did one of my Christmas Cards using this technique.  I used my poinsettia dies from Magnolia and my spellbinders.  The stamp is from Stampin Up!
