We are traveling to the Orient for this challenge at
Fashionable Stamping Challenges and we would love you to join us with your stamped creations! My DT Sisters have some amazing projects on the FSC blog, so really stop over and give your eyes a feast! As always there is a prize from
Cottage Crafts for some lucky stamper!
Well my selection of stamps was minimal to say the least, but I did come across a couple of background stamps that I thought would work out just fine! I inked up my tag with Distress Inks and then stamped the leaf background with Black Archival. All edges were inked with clear embossing ink and then I applied gold embossing powder

As luck would have it, I have a large Sizzix Fan Die and of course had some fun with shrink plastic and alcohol inks! For the larger fan that was cut from black cardstock, I used daubers to brush on Opalite colors and then heat set. I used one of my background stamps and stamped with clear embossing ink and covered with gold embossing powder. Then I covered the entire fan with clear embossing ink and powder! My plan was to use this on the tag, but decided against it. The fun part was the shrink plastic fans! Two were inked on one side with alcohol inks and gold mixative (frosted SP) and stamped with Archival Black. The black fan was cut from black SP and stamped with Archival Gold Brilliance. The words were computer generated.
Well I hope you are enjoying this weekend and doing something fun! Thank you for visiting and as always, I do enjoy and appreciate your comments!
Alcohol Inks: Cloudy Blue, Stream, Red Pepper, Gold Mixative
Distress Inks: Peacock Feathers, Tumbled Glass, Squeezed Lemonade, Festive Berries

Love your idea with the Shrink Plastic. Your tag turned out very pretty.
Loving your tag. There is so much detailed work. A wonderful Oriental sample considering you felt you had nothing, great inspiration. Caz
I love the shrink plastic too...it looks like heaps of fun Terry. Is that large fan that is black and blue the bit you decided not to use??? it is gorgeous!!! The feel of the orient is definitely here on this tag...great creative thinking!

Just GORGEOUS!!!! Valerie
Love it Terry - it's so your style. Gorgeous choice of colours. Hugs, Buttons x
Lovely tag. The shrink plastic fans are a great addition.
It's perfect! It is such a challenge to find the right images when you have no stamps for a particular theme and you nailed it again! Using the shrink was a brilliant idea!
So pretty, Terry--it almost looks as if it could be made of porcelain.

Hi Terry
Missing not being part of FSC this fortnight.
For someone who doesn't have many oriental stamps you created a stunning tag that most certainly has a flavour of the east. Very beautiful indeed.

Love those fans Terry and such a gorgeous card. You are so creative in the way you put your projects together. Love it.
Have a great week.

I would never guess you were lacking anything you needed for your Oriental tag! The soft colors are perfect and I love the images you selected. I had not heard of black shrink plastic until this week. Stunning! Best wishes, Yvonne
Beautiful! How lucky to have the fan die and lever to shrink it. I love when you shrink stuff!
