For my project today, I decided to go with a little scenic stamping and combined the new Birds of the Orient and Marsh Birds along with some Tim Holtz tumbled glass distress ink and koh-i-noor pencils with a blender marker.  For a little extra dimension, I added some punched flowers and a punched butterfly highlighted with ice stickles.

For my project today, I pulled out some handmade oriental mulberry paper I bought from Michael's a while back, along with some Stampin Up! card stock before stamping the main image in memento black ink then coloring with Koh-i-noor and Crayola colored pencils.  Once all of my coloring was finished, I stamped a border strip using the saying from the new Foo Dogs set then lightly sponged the border and card in wasabi ink before adding gold accents along with a fern charm.

For my project today, I decided to go a little outside the box and make a paper bag card covered with designer paper.  I figured the card could also act as the gift by putting a gift card inside the bag opening flap.  The only other embellishments I added were primas, brads, a punched butterfly, and a homemade cheese round with a wedge cut out.
