Tomorrow is the first day of Chinese New Year, this year is the year of the Ox. I've had Chinese food on the mind all week (we're celebrating with my mom on Saturday night), so I thought I would pull out this oldie but goodie Dim Sum Fun set from Mama Elephant.
I stamped each of these images twice (although I didn't use the second teapot) with Gina K Black Amalgam ink, and then colored with Copics. I used a lot of different Copics on this one: E30, E31, E33, and E35 for the steamer baskets; R22, R24, and R29 for the reds; W0 and W1 for highlights on the dumplings with the wider/fluffy tops; E50 and E51 for highlights on the buns with the peaked tops; Y21, YR30, and YR31 for the yellowish dumplings; and E42 and E44 for the tea. I also used N1 to add a bit of shading just below where the images were adhered to my white cardstock and around the edges of the teapot to make it pop a bit more.
The images were all fussy cut, and then I played around with them a bit until I got an arrangement I liked.
I used an old Crate Paper print for the background, and added a wide strip of white cardstock with a red mat to adhere my stamped images to.
The sentiment, also from the set, say I Love You, and then the words for Dim Sum in Chinese.
This one took a little longer, but only because of the coloring and fussy cutting.
Hope you're able to enjoy some yummy Chinese food this weekend too, but if you don't get around to it, Chinese New Year lasts for two weeks, so you have plenty of time!
