How's everyone doing today. I'm actually feeling in quite a good mood - was at the hairdressers this morning and I no longer have any grey hairs in sight!
Yesterday I dug out my box of oriental stamps (that may sound like I'm organised but I'm not - I've got a box for oriental, a box for christmas and everything else all jumbled up together!) and I've made a postcard and a twinchie.
The postcard is for two challenges:
Out of a Hat Creations - A Travel Postcard, and
Fashionable Stamping Challenges #25 - Oriental
I started by gluing some red oriental paper onto a blank postcard. I then collaged on some pieces of white handmade paper and gold napkin.
I stamped the Geisha (Bravura stamps) and Mt Fuji (make unknown) onto tissue paper then stuck them down with 'Glue n Seal'.
I then gold embossed a blossom stamp onto tissue, stuck that down then gold embossed around the edges.
Added a coin for good luck!
The twinchie is for Show Us Your Twinchies - Anything Goes
Background made with Distress Inks, I then gold embossed the buddha (Inkadinkado), coloured his robe with DI then edged with a gold pen.
Okay, that's me for today, it's cuppa time again and I haven't done any commenting today yet.
See you all again soon.
Take care.
Suze xx

Ha ha, the grey 'hair' made me laugh... it's hair today, but it'll be gone tomorrow!!
These are fabulous but I must say I have a bit of a soft spot for that gorgeous geisha stamp in the first. Those colours are just wonderful together.
Love what you have made. Good for you tuning away those grey hairs - pardon, that grey hair! Valerie
A brilliant bit of collaging on the postcard Suze :) and love your twinchie :)

Hi Suze...I really love the idea you have of portraying the secrecy of the geisha girl. It is so beautiful and so unique! Love it.
