Oriental Corners with Lotus Fan
by Zana Clark

Stamp the Lotus Fan with black ink and embossing powder on a subtly patterned gray background paper so the stamped lines will still be dominate. Stamp Oriental Corners on contrasting colored paper and emboss with glittery powder. Cut out and arrange these 3 pieces on a complimentary background paper then glue and trim around entire stamped composition. Accent both stamps with colored pencils and pastels. Back your composition on a larger sheet of black paper that has been decorated with random scribbles of colored pencils. Vertically accentuate the center of the design with a strip of marbled paper. Mount this design on a sheet of boldly colored paper that is 81/2"x 8" folded in half. This card size allows you to use and decorate a #10 standard business envelope with a matching stamp theme.
