Friendly Fan Fun


After doing a massive Autumn clean out- I needed some crfating Fun. I've made this card inspired by this beautiful Japanese Doll, that my BF's son bought me back from his trip to Japan last year, isn't she just gorgeous. I love her :) I really wante dto keep some of the white purity about my card, which was way harder than I thought it might be. I created the background by brayering on glossy card stamping the fan, and adding some gold by using the inner bit out of the smooch, and finally some texture by embossing. I've made the fans with handmade Washi paper.

I'm entering this card into 2 cool challenges:
The GC99 Fan Challnege at Ginger Snap Creations
and over at Just Add Ink the theme is Friends or mates for ANZAC Day.

Geisha


One of the current challenges over at Gingersnap Creations is Geisha. I love Asian Designs at the best of times, so this months challenges at Gingersnap are a Must for me.

I have stamped my image with Staz On, then Brayered, I then added some interest by painting part of the image with Shimmer Paint. I've matted with Basic Black and some real pretty metallic embossed Asian type paper. Satin Real Red Ribbon and sentiment added with the Tiny Tag and we are done.
