We had such a wonderful showing and a great time in our first asian class.. we are gearing up for our second class for February. There are still some openings for next month, I hope you can join us! We have room in our Saturday Feb 16th from 6-8pm and Monday Feb. 18th from 6-8pm cost is 35.00 and you'll bring home 6 fabulous cards. Here are two. I still need to design 4 more!!!!
This is a design using your scraps from designer papers. I used Hero arts new bamboo stamps and used the color box chalk cat eyes and inked different colors of green and stamped it on cream paper, then punched just a small piece out... then layered with different green tones. Super fast and easy!
This next card is a card/invite that my husband made.. YES....my hubby!!!!!!! Kenneth Richard Yee made this!! Can you believe. It's really nice. It's a chinese traditional dress called a "cheongsam". I take absolutely no credit in this card. He did a great job... clap, clap, clap. So now you can make one too!!!
He used judikins cherry blossom stamp and embossed in black diamond powder. Then used a judikins chop stamp and embossed in gold and punched out the circle. The ribbons have a metallic gold in it and really brings out the colors. This is a great card for a invitation or greeting! I'll have the rest of the card posted soon.. and I hope to take pix of the inside of my boutique as well as our Valentine windows. My cousin Laurie helped me decorate them...turned out sooooo cute!
Firstly - Steph do you EVER sleep?? Posting this at 1:30 in the morning??
Secondly - having seen these cards in person, these photos don't do them justice. They are absolutely gorgeous up close and personal. Ken did do a WONDERFUL job with invitation card - it's so rich-looking (do you hear me clapping??). And I LOVE the bamboo card (anything that can use up those little bits of decorative paper is a winner to me). I'm so excited for the next Asian Cards class. With all of the wonderful Asian stamps, papers and embellishments at the Paper Garden, I'm like a kid in a candy store!!

Kudos to your husband! He really did an awesome job with the "cheongsam". In fact, I'm going to have to try and make one. Instructions coming soon? Sure wish I lived in the Sacramento area...I'd be taking your wonderful Asian Cards class too!
