Our baby girl turns 14 today.....amazing!!!!! Melissa gave me a challenge to make her a Japanese card as she enjoys this subject so much at school. So here is what I came up with. This took me about four days to create as it is very hard to find time that Melissa is coming in and checking what I am doing but I did it. :-)I started with some lovely red leather craft card from Blue Edge Crafts for the base card. Then a layer of black ribbed card. The paper I have had for a long time and so glad to finally find a use for it. The image is a digital image from Softpencil which I coloured with my water colour pencils and aqua brush and gold metallic pen. For the wording I used an online translator. The top line says "Happy Birthday" and second line "Melissa" (rather 'Merisa" as they don't have 'l's) The origami butterfly took me two days to create and many tutorials but I found a great one last night at http://www.origami-fun.com/
I also created this card for the Weekly Inspiration Challenge that I set over at Craftmad. The theme this week is 'Asian Influence'.
