We're celebrating Sheena's newest release with a fun Crafter's Companion Blog Hop. The new release is called A Little Bit Oriental and features lots of great Asian-themed designs. The collection has four beautiful stamp sets, four 5×7" embossing folder, and a paper pad with 48 sheets of coordinating patterned paper with 16 different designs.
My card is created using stamps from a set called Oriental Silhouette … I love using Silhouette stamps on designer papers. This card was my first attempt stamping on Tim Holtz Grid Designer Paper.
After stamping I sponged on some Memento Nautical Blue, Paris Dusk & Bamboo Leaves ink for a bit more dimension.
I tried the same design for my second card, this time framing it in black cardstock … I think the frame really helps make the silhouette designs pop
I just love the pair of cranes in the sky.
Now head on over to the Crafter's Companion Blog for links to all of the Hop Participants … make sure you leave a comment on each blog … one commenter will be chosen at random to receive thier choice of one of the new stamp sets.
Oh my, I totally love those cards! You are right, the black frame makes everything pop! I have to try stamping on patterned paper! Thank you for the inspiration!

Like the black frame better but both are beautiful!
A really georgeous card. The tree is a really useful stamp and could be used on all sorts of cards but with the cranes in the background looks so oriental.
Beautiful. In this area we see a lot of geese flying over. this reminds me of them. Great card.
Very cool–I like how you stamped on the grid paper.
Wow, that tree image is so striking! What a beautiful card.
This is so pretty! I love the black image against the patterned paper.
That background is so interesting with the tree stamp silhouette. It gives such a mysterious feel to the card.
Your card is amazing!
