IndigoBlu meets My Mind Eye :-)

I've just been sorting through all the paper pads I have stashed away around the house, there's so many I'd forgotten about, and in amongst them I found the My Minds Eye Halloween 2 collection I bought last year, so I made these cards with the Hocus Pocus Stamp set by IndigoBlu.

Oriental Inspiration

I loved putting this layout together. I started with the photo and then built up the page around it. I used the lanterns in corresponding colours and raised them up on foam tape to give a bit of dimension to the finished page but kept to a simple layered layout. The girl in the photo is one of the temple girls at the Angkor Wat temple in Cambodia where they filmed Tomb Raider.
