A Bit More Asian

As explained in the previous post, my first photo of this particular card was poor, so I photographed it again today for this post.

It's the Fuji Goddess, a Lynne Perrella design by Stampington.  Embossed in detail gold on black cardstock and placed on a piece of Asian paper from KaiserCraft's "Hanami Garden" paper pad.

A bit of Asian

Several years ago, I belonged to a group that made Asian-themed cards; I have many Asian images, some relatively traditional and some with a modern "edge." I love them all, but haven't made a card with them in such a long time.  Recently, I bought a Kaiser Craft paper pad called "Hanami Garden."  It has beautiful Asian-themed papers, so I decided to pull out some of my stamps.  My favorites tend to be the Stampington line by Lynne Perrella.  One is "Fuji Goddess" which I used for two cards. HOWEVER, the second card is all black and gold and it did NOT photograph well; I'll photograph again in tomorrow's daylight. The image was colored with Inktense pencils and finished with a brush and water.

Tuesday Cards

Every so often, I think of a card and execute the plan quickly...that was the case with this week's Tuesday cards.  I was tensely watching Jordan Spieth have a meltdown in the final holes of the Masters golf tournament, and I just didn't want to see anymore.  I had already "found" the beautiful washi paper last week, which is where I wanted to start.  Choosing an Asian-themed stamp seemed logical, too, and because I wanted the washi layer to show, I chose "Fuji Goddess" by Lynne Perrella for Stampington, one of several of Perella's images in my collection.  The Penny Black sentiment is new to my collection.
