With such a striking cover I went with the colours for my card and got out my very old acrylic stamps. It was good to get back to physical stamps rather than digi stamps for a change.
Materials used:
Oriental lady and writting acrylic stamps from stash (not sure of origin but may be Dimension Fourth and they are now sadly out of business)
X-Press It card
red and black card
gold pen
Memento Tuxedo Black ink padwhite 7x5" card blank
black Polychromo pencil for lady's hair
Copic pens:
skin - E000, E00, E21, E11, R20
kimono - R29, R39, R59, R89
C3, C5, C7, C9, 100
The lady and writing are stamped with the black ink, coloured in and trimmed down. The panel is then edged with a gold pen before matting and layering on red and black card.
If any of you have read Memoirs of a Geisha I would love to know what you thought of it.
Thanks for dropping in. Take care.

ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous oriental card and I'm so glad you weren't put off by not having read the book. I read the book many years ago and I loved it enough to buy a copy for a friend as a gift. Thanks for joining The Library.
ReplyDeleteLovely card. A clever idea to use the colours as inspiration. Thank you for joining in the Anything Goes Challenge at Lil Patch Of Crafty Friends.
