MOJO MONDAY 277

Hello! Welcome back. 

Today's card was created using the sketch over at Verve's MoJo Monday Challenge #277. Really cute sketch this week. I love this little Geisha girl. I purchased her several years ago and every now and then I have to bring her out and play with her. Trouble is, I don't remember where I purchased her from.

I am hoping, you get the feel from the background of a Shoji screen. The stamp I used for that is called Quatrefold and it is from Stampabilities.

Coloring with Chalks

I love this little Geisha. I used my chalks and my blender pen to color here. I am very pleased with how she turned out.

Lily Pad KLPPC

Lily Pad - Kathy's Lily Pad Palette Color Challenge - I stamped my image in Versa Mark and heat embossed with Black powder. Then I colored her with my metalic watercolors and my Blender pen. On her face, the flower and her dress I applied Crystal Effects. I am so pleased with the way she turned out. Hope you enjoy looking.

Friend - CardSketchesByZacksNana - May 2010 example card & SoftPencil Digital Studio March Challenge ribbons & bows. The little Japanese girl is one of SoftPencil's digitals. Isn't she just too cute! I had some scrap designer paper from Tinkering Ink Botanical Bliss paper pad. I don't know about you but when I think anything Asian or Oriental I think red, black and gold. Below you will see snapshots of how I created the black matte for my image and for the frame.

1) I used my 2 5/16" circle punch and punced my image. Then I punched a piece of black cardstock with my 3" scalloped circle. Then I used my 1" circle punch and punched around the white circle cutting half a scallop a whole scallop and another half scallop. Then I would skip the same. And so on. Below is how it turned out. It's not equal all around. But it really doesn't matter. It still  has that Oriental feel to it (think of the roofs of their buildings).

2) For my matte I punched my half flowers first. Then I cut two slits on either end of the two middle flowers. I slid the deckled rectangle nestie up into those slots leaving the flowers outside so the nestie would not cut through.

FINI~

friend - MOJO128 - using SoftPencil Prize

Got my MOJO working about 1 a.m. this morning. I was up rather late last night. Nerves I guess, today I am having a needle biopsy on my right thyroid. Freakin' the heck out. Although my doc says, most of the time these cysts are NOT cancer. It's just a scarey thing is all. Hubs, Mike will be there to hold my hand though. :O)
Anyhoo, as I said in the opening, this little Japanese Girl is from SoftPencil Digis (she was part of my prize package. I won a $10.00 gift voucher to the store and I just had to have her!) Thanks Again Elizabeth. This card was created using Julee's sketch at MOJO MONDAY #128. I think I incorporated the sketch layout in both the top and lower portions of my easle card. The other Asian stamps are from a set I purchased a while back from Pink Cat Studios (they offer both digital and rubber stamps). There are some lovely images in this set and I have hoarded them long enough. :O) The card stock is from Basic Grey's Lime Rickey paper pad. The green cardstock is Bazzill weave texture.
Here's a closer look at the lower portion of the card where I actually used the pattern cardstock and the Bazzill to create the layout.
