My page in my book, this week I have another envelop page. I first stamped the ying yang motif all over the page, then I coloured it, doodled round the edges and finally rubbed gold wax over the whole page.
The card inside the envelope..
The front of my card. I drew the Chrysanthemum first, then drew the dragon and coloured with promarkers, then the background coloured with promarkers. I then masked off the flower and the dragon and used a Chinese text stamp for the background.
The back of the card...these 2 really are not giving much away..possible meetings...packages left for each other, often not in 'safe' places...hmmmm
So let us see your cards from China...
THIS IS WHERE YOU LINK UP...
come back on Sunday for a small giveaway...
