July Theme Swap

Oriental is the Theme for this month.


A beautiful Koi peeloff just has to have an orange background.  I rounded the corners and added a banner across the top of the card and some 'waves' along the lower edge.


I used text from a Chinese newsletter for the background of the second card.  The peeloffs were attached to some beautiful flowery paper and then fussy cut along with a fan.  Once I had centralised the image, I added a flower and a butterfly.

I have a notebook from China, given to me many years ago by a friend, so I tore out a page and used the lower edge as the background.  I made a kimono from some printed papers and added this to the card.  A small gold butterfly in the corner and a gold thread across the top completes the card.
I received the following cards:



Text is silver bordered, with a lucky coin in the top right corner.
Thank you Gerry.

Just love this cute image!
Thank you KatyS.

This is a very striking card, the 'red envelope' being the gocal point.
Thank you PatS.
