Robyn's Fetish Super Saturday Challenge! - Asian Flair

 

Yea!  It's Saturday and time for another Super Saturday Challenge from Robyn's Fetish.  Hope you had a great week!

This week's challenge is to create a paper craft project with an Asian flair/style.  Now you may be stumped as to what kind of Asian flair can be used.  It can be anything from paper to stamps to the project itself, as you will see what I came up with for this challenge.

To enter the challenge, create a paper craft project with Asian flair or Asian style.  You do not have to use Robyn's Fetish (RF) images, but if you do, you will be entered into the challenge TWICE for a chance to win three images this week!  Post your link to your project to Mr. Linky so the team and I can check out your work!

Here is the project I created for the challenge: an origami box:

 

Growing up as a child, I remember my grandmother and I doing origami (Japanese paper folding) together when I would visit her with my parents.  I would learn a new kind of fold and was excited to see what would be created after we were done.  My grandmother has been one of my biggest inspirations in my art projects.

There is a great tutorial on Splitcoast Stampers on making this box here.

I would recommend using thin paper or cardstock to make the box because the multiple folds that are done makes the paper harder to fold.  I did manage to make it work on Bazzil cardstock, but my bone folder had a BIG workout!

Cardstock is from Bazzil.  The washi paper is new from Hero Arts.  The corners were cut using my EK Success corner punch.  I used RF's The Sun  image for the top of the box, colored with the following Copic colors:

Y17 and R08 with the At You Spica pen red and orange

For all four sides of the box, I used my Martha Stewart punch to make the border all around the bottom.  I used gem stickers from Martha Stewart for the flowers.

To purchase The Sun image or to check out the other images RF has to offer, stop by the store.  And while you are there, stop by the forum as well.  We just started an ATC swap, a card challenge and a scrapbook layout challenge so join in on the fun!
