ASIAN THEMED BOOK SWAP

THIS IS MY LAST SWAP I CREATED TONIGHT. I USED MY SIZZIX FILE DIECUT TO CUT 5 PIECES OF CHIPBOARD. I SELECTED THESE ASIAN PAPERS WHILE I WAS IN UTAH SCRAPPIN WITH FRIENDS. ALL THE EDGES ARE INKED AND NEATLY FILED. I USSED CHIPBOARD LETTERS FOR THE FRONT STAMPED WITH ASIAN WORDS. THE CHOPSTICKS I PAINTED WHITE AND THEN STAMP TO ADD DETAILS. THE PHOTOS I FOUND ON THE INTERNET. I USED OLD ASIAN COLLECTABLE STAMPS, COINS, PAPER MONEY, RIBBON, FIBERS, AN ASIAN TAROT CARD AND MANY ASIAN STAMPS I HAVE WITH EMBOSSING POWDERS AND INK. THIS SWAP WILL GO OUT TO TEXAS. I ALREADY RECEIVED MY BOOK FROM MARNIE AND WILL UPLOAD LATER. THANKS MARNIE FOR THE EXTRA ITEMS YOU SENT WITH MY BOOK TO HELP ME FINISH THIS PROJECT. IT WAS FUN!

MICROSCOPE MAILERS

NOW THIS WAS AN INTERESTING PROJECT THAT I PARTICIPATED IN. I CHOOSE MY OWN THEMES BUTTERFLIES & ASIAN. I SIMPLE COVERED THE MAILERS IN PAPER, INKED AND EMBOSSED SOME. THEN I CUT OUT THE OPENINGS FOR THE MAILERS WHERE THE FLOWERS AND ASIAN CHARMS ARE. ON THE BUTTERFLY ONE I ALSO USED A BUTTERFLY CHIPBOARD TO GIVE IT SOME DIMENSION. I ALSO INCLUDED SOME COLLECTABLE STAMPS FROM A COLLECTION I HAVE. THE BUTTERFLY ONE WAS POSTED ON THE COVER OF THE YAHOO SWAP GROUP SO I GUESS IT WAS WELL LIKED!
