March Theme Swap

The theme being Oriental.



I used up two of my Chinese New Year (Year of the Dog) cards.
I have included a photo of the back of the dog image card.  

I love these cards but they are all gone now .... here's to next year!!

For my third card, I collaged some of the papers left over from a stamp sheet bought last year (Year of the Cockerel).  
The sheet has a border of Cockerel images and each stamp has a label attached showing a symbol form the Chinese celebrations.
I used a fancy corner punch for the corners, reminded me of a Chinese Temple, and then went round the edges with a red Sharpie pen ..... the only way I could think to edge inside the 'temple'.




I have received the following cards:
