For this set, I stamped and watercolored the flowers from MFP set called WORKS OF ART. I then free hand drew a pagoda onto a piece of cardstock that I had made look like wood by using shoe polish. I added gold paint to the roof and black sharpie marker lines to define the edges. For the FOO DOG statue, I did faux barn board technique onto a piece of gray cardstock with white and black acrylic paint.and glue. When that was dry I stamped the FOO DOG statue onto the faux barn board with black stazon ink. I wanted it to look old, so to give it a patina, I dipped my finger in teal watercolor paint and swiped over the surface. This card was really hard to get a good photo of because there were too many shiny surfaces with the roof and the surface of the statue.
close up of the statue shows the patina on the faux barn board. I really think it looks like stone.
With this photo I tried to show the wood, the gold roof, and the patina on the statue. The statue was cut out and I glued 2 buttons behind the statue to make him have dimension.
