Oriental Cards - Nicole Doiron - Mood Board Inspiration


Hello Dusty FANattics!

It's Nicole and I am happy to share with you today a set of 3 oriental-themed cards that were inspired by the Dusty Attic March mood board.





Here is the beautiful March mood board!





And now let's take a closer look at each card.









Along with the mood board, my main inspiration for these cards  was the Bonsai Trees collection from The Dusty Attic.


I found some more chipboard in my stash with a similar oriental style  and decided to use papers from Graphic 45 to complete the effect.









The Fancy Frame #11 gave just seemed to be perfect.











On this second card, I used the Birdcage #2 covered embossed in golden yellow.









I added some Gingko Biloba pieces colored in red.











I thought that this card would be great for a special friend, so I used this very fitting expression from the Quoted Sentiments in black.











On the card below, I used another of the Bonsai Trees and the smaller Fancy Frame #11.









I decided to keep my cards fairly simple with no mixed media because sometimes that is just how my creative mind thinks.








I think I was able to interpret the feel and colour palette of the mood board simply but beautifully with these cards.










Here are the Dusty Attic chipboard that I used.
