Bamboo Kisses

Hello Nomad friends.  15th of the month and a new challenge starting at the Lost Coast Portal to Creativity.  This fortnight we have the theme Face On and want to see a human face on your stamped creations.  Any type of project, any occassion, but remember to use real stamping and a haman face.  Here's my card.


This was really easy but I love the result.


I started by stamping and masking the geisha from Lost Coast Designs Asian Set.  I inked up the large rectangle Shadow Frame with Picked Raspberry distress oxide and then pressed the Bamboo stamp, also from the Asian set, into the wet ink.  This technique is known as kissing.  Then when you stamp the shadow frame you get a faint bamboo shaped gap!  Pretty!! 


I finished by stamping Carmen's Veranda Quiet Chaos Madness sentiment, although I think this background would suit many different occasions.

Thanks for dropping by.  Don't forget to add your stamped projects featuring human faces for a chance to win Lost Coast dollars.  Hugz

Gail this is such a lovely and creative design. I think the faint bamboo in the pink really ties the card together-matching so well with the image. And what a lovely sentiment. Thanks for joining Time Out and a big thank you for all the lovely comments you leave on our main blog x
