Oriental Fan

I originally started to make this card to enter Cynthia's (Rainbow Lady) challenge but missed the deadline....not by a whisker but by 3 days!!!

Although I couldn't find a sketch suitable for the fan, it does fit the following challenges.

SCSC 74 - Anything goes
Dutch Dare 73 - Colour inspiration
Lili of the Valley 48 - Easel card




I haven't made an oriental card for a long time and when sorting out some paper I thought this was the way to go with this pattern.
I had to use a black copic to colour 3 pearls - a sacriledge and a very painful experience. Not one I hope to repeat too often, but I needed something as an extra 'stop' to the LHS and pearly pearls or gems didn't look right and the flower looked best to the RHS.



BP - DCWV - B&W prints stack
Tassle and coin from Joanna Sheen
Flower from Wild Orchid
Nellie Sneddon frame die
Two layers of the fan printed on to photo paper.

Thank you for stopping by and all the encouraging comments left recently.
Each and every one greatly appreciated.

Rainbow Lady challenge 47 - Fans

135mm square



Fans are the subject this week and I have chosen the image and BP's from Joanna Sheen's Tales of the Orient

I was happy to be able to use this because I have been having trouble opening CD's.
I really love the colours of this card. The BP was layered before printing. The fan is decoupaged and I made a little tassle with embroidery thread.



I appreciate your visit and thank you for any comments you are kind enough to leave.

One more 40th card

Yes another one!

8inch square

Inspired by Suzanne's big cards. I now have to make a wrapper for it.
This is for my daughter to give to her friend. I will have to work on one from me later.
I have been deliberating on this card for days. I liked the image but wanted the card to have a modernish? look. Hubby has just said that he doesn't like the pink at the bottom :-( The aqua colour matches Louise's decor so I hope she likes it.





I think I've been quite generous in using FD's and a tassle.

Thanks for looking
