A Postcard and a Twinchie

Hello bloggers,

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.

Where did that grey 'hair' come from?!
