Your Staggering

Hello Nomad friends.  Happy February.  Gosh, January seemed to just vanish and here we are at the month of love.  The new challenge starting today at the Lost Coast Portal to Creativity is Red and Gold.  You can use a little black and white as well, but Red and Gold and real rubber or clear stamping must be the focus of your project for it to have a chance at the randomly drawn prize.   I made a card using a new stamp from the Lost Coast Designs collection, Dark Girl Geisha.  

I went with a fun Asian theme, cos it's also the month to celebrate the start of the Chinese New Year.  Did you know a whole fish is supposed to symbolise long life.

I stamped the Bamboo from the Asian set horizontally on a panel of red card using Carnation archival ink and cut the panel with a stitch die.  I stamped the Carmen's Veranda I Need Bail sentiment with black archival.  I stamped Dark Girl Geisha on white card with black archival, on white card and gold embossed and on red card and gold embossed.  Then I did some fussy cutting and pieced her together.  To finish I used red Promarkers to add some extra colour to her dress and boots.

Join the Red and Gold fun for a chance to win and don't forget the team will be sharing awesome inspiration all month.  See you there.  Hugz
