Help for Japan!!

A challenge that will help Japan?

Yes!

Use it Tuesday is dedicated to help us dig into our scrappy stash. The more entries into their current challenge, open until Friday, April 1st, the more gets donated to Japan! Details here.

The challenge:

Please make a project using the color RED in honor of Japan. Remember to use something from your stash you have been hoarding and please tell us in your post or project description what that item (or items) is!

Since I didn't have anything in particular in mind, except that I wanted to use Lawn Fawn's Lunar Lights, I checked out the current sketch at CPS (and loved some of their samples!):


This is my project:

I don't "hoard" anything specifically, I just don't get a chance to use everything I have. For this project, I opened a brand new paper pack I've had lying around, Papertrey Ink's Green Tea Leaves. I also used Bitty Box Basics, which I haven't used in ages.

The frame was done with Squares and Grand Squares Spellbinders and then impressed with the Canvas side of the Linen & Canvas impression plate by PTI.  I inked the edges with Black Soot Tim Holtz Distress Ink.

I stamped the lanterns on the white background, coloring some with Copics and paper piecing others with dimensional adhesive. I added some shading to the patterned paper with a T1 Copic. Probably should have used T2 or T3.

Thanks for stopping by! I definitely encourage you all to join in on this to help support Japan!
