A is for Asian - April Craftmad Card Swap


These are the Copic colours I used to colour my image for my second card in the Craftmad April Swap (check out the gallery for other member swaps).  We had to create two 'A' themed cards.  I chose Asian for my second card.  You can see my first card - Automobile here


This image is from my Digi collection.  Sorry not sure where I found this and if anyone knows who the artist is could they please let me know.  I also added a touch of metallic pen to her sash which doesn't show in the photo.

Thanks to Jocelyn of 'Instead of Ironing blogspot (beautiful cards) for all this info on this pretty little image.
The image is by Elizabeth Pujalka of Softpencil Studios and is called Japanese Girl. Previously, you could buy from her on Etsy but now Elizabeth has her own website: http://www.softpencilstudios.com/


I made a Joy Fold card using papers I bought when we were in Tokyo, Japan 18 months ago.   The Eastern stickers are from the Sticker Store.  Hmmm, don't you hate when you look at the photo of your card and see a mistake.  My paper on the right hand side is upside down.....can't believe I missed that.    Hopefully my partner is  like me and hasn't spied that. :-)

Wishing you a wonderful Wednesday.

  2. That paper is amazing... so pretty no matter which way up. I've done that in the past, too... we probably all do at one time or another. What a darling image, and beautifully colored.
