Royal Kat Tuesday: Inspiration

Welcome to another Royal Kat Tuesday! This week's challenge is to derive Inspiration from the wonderful photo below:


And here's what I came up with:

Here are some close-ups:

So in case you were wondering what crazy food I tried out for the first time during my 32nd birthday, it was frog legs! Just goes to show you don't have to travel very far to inject a little bit of the exotic into your life. Just head over to a restaurant and try out something you haven't tried out before.

Since the restaurant we went to was a Chinese restaurant, I was of course going to use my Prosperity Crane Stamp Set! (Sadly, an oldie but classic stamp no longer available at the Store. Chin up, do check out the rest of the awesome stamps, especially the new releases this month, and make sure not to miss out on them in the future!)

To new adventures!

Hi! Nina here. Just wanted to share a quick layout I made celebrating some of the wonderful experiences we had in Taiwan. (We were there while hubby was at work.) We got to experience New Year's, Valentine's and Father's Day twice last year and this year because we celebrated the Chinese version while we were there.

Of course no layout about Taiwan would be complete without using Queen Kat Designs Prosperity Crane Stamp and then a few favorites, like the QKD Chandelier Stamp and the Aged Text Background Stamp.

Here's to celebrating new adventures and hope you have ink-filled adventures to capture them.

*hugs*

P.S. I'm so, so sorry I haven't been able to leave comments for everyone on the team. But I really do appreciate all the wonderful encouragement you gals give me and of course our wonderful readers. QKD rocks!

Altered paper bag

We had some take-out the other night and it came in this paper bag. I just couldn't wait to decorate it. Here's what I ended up with.

The paper bag is decorated on both sides, with the stamped collage pieces as a focal point. The patterned paper on these are actually origami paper.

Here are the goods: Queen Kat Designs Geisha Girls # 1 Stamp Set, Random Text Background Stamp, Funky Swirl Stamp, Hibiscus Stamp, Prosperity Crane Stamp Set.

Hope you have a great ink-filled day!

Prosperity Crane Card

Here's an easy Asian-themed card to make with the gorgeous Queen Kat Designs Prosperity Crane Stamp Set.


I just grabbed some origami paper, used black cardstock as lining, and then let the gorgeous stamp images take centerstage.

Have a prosperous day!
