Card
I cut out a glittery elephant from a scrapbook sheet designed by Carol Wilson and matted him onto brown card stock. I placed this onto paisley patterned paper and cut two of the paisley patterns out for decoration. I then added some authentic Indian braid and two gold sequins.
~~~~~~~~~





Inchie
For my inchie, I used a clipart image of an elephant and Black & yellow cardstock. I drew some animal markings with a gold metalic sakura pen & added a little silver sequin.
~~~~~~~~~






Card
For my card I have used Tanda Stamps Far East Set 3. I have made a background piece by stamping various images and embossing with silver onto a blue card stock. I have stamped the main image in a matching blue dye ink and stippled ink around the edges with a brush. This piece was then popped through a paper ribbler, matted onto blue card stock and embellished with silver cord and a stamped coin. I stamped some Kanji directly on the card base in red.

Card
This week I started making an atc but it turned into this card! All stamps I have used are from Tanda Stamps. I stamped the elephant with versafine Vintage Sepia then added white gell pen and gems to his head dress. I then embossed all the other images in gold.
~~~~~~~~~





Skinny
I covered the skinny with patterned papers and stamped some images on the right hand side and also on a small piece of moutboard and attached on to the ribbon. I used a free image from Art-e-Zine of an oriental lady, and added a coin to embellish.
~~~~~~~~~







Card
Using versamark ink I randomly stamped the Chinese symbol over the base card. On a piece of stampboard I made a red & gold background with alcohol inks and then stamped and embossed the Chinese symbol in gold and edged the piece in gold too, I added 3 small red gems to the top corner. The stampboard was then mounted on to black card with 3 gold eyelet's set at the bottom, which was then mounted to the base card. I attached a black ribbon to the bottom and finished off with some red fibres.
