"Born in the Year of the Dragon" Stamp Artist - Kathryn Hughett Supplies Rubber Stamps Art Neko; Chinese Zodiac Signs Sheet Set - CPZS0000, Dragon; Sunday International purchased through Art Neko: Kanji Half Sheet, Chinese Words Characters & Phrases - OSSIKA21, Happy Birthday and Small Chinese Symbol 4 x 6 piece of medium weight Watercolor paper Acrylic paint in several shades of green, crimson and gold (I use Golden iridescent gold acrylic paint. It mixes with other colors without turning green.) Sea sponge Large Watercolor brush Cosmetic sponge Sheet of 6 x 12 Crimson cardstock Glue stick Black ink for stamping fabric or permanent ink 2 1/2 in. circular piece of cardstock Gold embroidery floss Directions: Using a light green paint, brush on a light wash of color over the entire surface of the watercolor paper with a large watercolor brush. While the paper is still slightly moist use a sea sponge and medium pressure to apply a medium shade of green randomly over the sheet of paper. You may use several shades and colors remembering to allow some of the lighter washed background to show through. Using a deep shade of green paint, lightly and sparingly sponge the entire piece of paper. After the paper has dried completely, lightly sponge gold highlights onto the paper. After the paint has dried completely, tear one longer edge of the paper. Paint the torn edge with a line of gold paint about 3/8 in. wide. Fold the sheet of 6x12 Crimson cardstock in half. Glue the painted paper to the right side of the card with the torn edge facing the left side of the card. Cut a 2 ¼ in wide circle from some scrap white cardstock. Paint it with gold acrylic paint. Once the gold paint is dry, paint the edge of the circle using a small cosmetic sponge with crimson acrylic paint mixed with some gold paint. After the circle is dry stamp the dragon image onto it with the fabric ink. (Regular ink won't dry on the acrylic paint..) Stamp the Happy Birthday characters onto the red side of the card.. Stamp the smaller design in the lower left corner of the card. Make a tassel using gold embroidery floss. Attach it to the back of the gold circle and attach both to the green side of the card. An option to making your green paper is to buy some decorative handmade paper similar to what I created. (Hint: when painting the green paper, you might want to use a larger piece of watercolor paper. Then you will have extra paper in case you make a mistake tearing it and you will have some for another project.)

"Rainbow Birthday" Stamp Artist - Linda Carson "Domino Screen" Stamp Artist - Sabra Brown Steinsiek Supplies Rubber Stamps Art Neko Water Lily and Dragonfly Panel Stamp (ASMS0015) 4 prepared plastic dominoes (shiny blank side bleached to remove glaze, then rinsed to remove bleach) Black StayzOn Ink Pad Colored Pencils Glaze Pens (colored sharpies may be substituted for glaze pens) Embossing powder or glitter Mat Fixative Gloss Fixative 3 small hinges E-6000 glue Directions: Stamp each panel of stamp onto separate domino (mask frames so they don't stamp) Let dry completely (I usually wait overnight) FROM HERE, the following can be done assembly line style doing each step on separate domino before moving on to the next step. Color areas as desired with colored pencils (Prismacolor Deluxe work best) - be sure all pencil work is done before proceeding to next step! Outline leaves and color flower stems with green glaze pen – LET DRY! Glaze pens will smear if not dry. Color flowers with two shades of pink/red glaze pens (or any color) – LET DRY (NOTE: the glaze colors will dry raised giving a cloisonné texture, sharpies will not give the raised effect.) Once all coloring is done, spray dominoes with a coating of MAT FIXATIVE. DO NOT use gloss yet! After Mat fixative dries, spray several layers of GLOSS fixative, letting each dry completely in between. When last layer of gloss finish is dry, fill in dragonfly wings with embossing ink, add embossing powder and quickly emboss. This only takes a few seconds. More will discolor the glaze. Glue and glitter can be used instead of embossing ink/powder. A final coat of gloss may be applied if desired. Finally, use E-6000 to attach small hinges (from craft or hardware store) to back of dominoes so that the hinge falls between the dominoes. The hinge should be midway between the top and bottom of the domino backs. Once glue has thoroughly dried, the screen can be displayed upright and curved either back or forwards, perhaps in front of a small votive candle.
