Paper Lantern Geishas


Evening everyone,

I have had a fine afternoon to myself, with DH having to attend an annual meeting. So, I revisited some of my Oriental stamps and played with the Paper Lantern Technique. The image is crimped after all the colouring is done. I think the crimping is a tad hard to see unless you click to enlarge the piccie.


Materials
Cardstock: Old Oriental pack from Way Back
Stamps: Stamp In Style Three Geishas
Inks: StayzOn Black, Archival Black
Other: Oriental Coin, Gold Cording, Paper Crimper, Prisma Pencils
