IC363 Swan Dreams

Photo Details

Poster: bigfootbecky

Stef directed us to Fishs Eddy site (http://www.fishseddy.com/) for todays IC363. I chose this card as my inspiration: http://www.fishseddy.com/browse.cfm/4,4420.html

I've had the Dream Gardens set for many years, but have never used these two stamps. Most of the time I use the Japanese lady in silhouette and I've used the "dream" character stamp once. Glad I finally had a reason to ink up the two neglected stamps. The dream panel stamp was inked in Fired Brick, stamped off gently, and re-inked with Tangerine Tango, then stamped on to white cardstock. This resulted in a deeper orange than just inking with Tangerine Tango alone.

Striking color combo with the orange/black. Very nice.

Beautiful Asian-themed CAS card, Becky. Love the motifs you used and the orange-ish color is so pretty with the black/white.

Ms Becky, long time no see. Hope all has been well with you. How great to be able to use those 2 long forgotten images. I only use the silhouette as well. I think using just the kettle in the upper half was sheer genius!
