You can create it with less than a sheet of card, i have a ton of these to make so i had to keep them simple. This is also a great way or using your circle punches or circle nesties - that's what i used for all the facial elements and i just draw on the mouth and eyebrows!

Well hasn't autumn suddenly kicked in? It's cold in the mornings and getting dark at night..winter is on the way me thinks. It's just more excuses to stay in with a cuppa & craft - yay!!

A few weeks ago i was very lucky to win a challenge over at All That Scraps and i won some of there gorgeous stamps - so i choose an oriental set as i had never seen it before. I obviosuly had to ink them up pretty quick and this is what i came up with....

I am quite pleased how this came out as i don't normally do oriental but these are just super cute.

I had an old SEI paper pad lying around i had for ages and with the lovely gold and black tones i thought this would compliment the image beautifully. I also used the Magic Flourish by Memory Box. The sentiment is an old Craftwork Cards Die Cut Circle and i added some lovely black pearls.
