I cannot claim to have thought of this, my aunt sent me a card with the prototype on it and I just had to copy it. As a hoarder of Japanese washi paper, I jumped at the chance to be able to incorporate it in a card.
I am not really sure who will be the recipient of this card, my daughter may think it a bit passe for 8 to 9 year olds, maybe someone a little younger. It was alot of fun to make.

Today we are off to my In-Laws 50th wedding anniversary celebration. We are in charge of desserts and knowing that my husband's family have a collective sweet tooth, I have gone with Pavlova (a delicacy (?) from this part of the southern hemisphere), baked cheesecake (a wonderful never-fail recipe from Gordon Ramsey) and Tiramisu (my aunt sent me this recipe in a plea for help).
I don't think I have shared the invitation design on this blog. I did space it out alittle more when I made them up and it did take a bit of convincing to use black ink (MIL was a florist in a previous life so it has some significance).
The card we are giving them is one from a submission call but as it is quite big, it can only be hand delivered.
I love the little japanese geisha - you have put it to gether so well. I think even grown ups would like a card like this (well I know I would!) Angela
ReplyDeleteThe geisha card is gorgeous and I think it makes a great adult card *wink wink* so pretty! Have a great day, those desserts sound great!
ReplyDeleteWow, I love ALL your cards! The kawaii card is very cute--you have really pulled off the spirit of the style. Love the 50th invitation, especially the elegant black flourishes. But my favorite is your congratulations card--it is so elegant with the subtle white-on-white stripes and the gorgeous flowers and background vellum outline rose!
ReplyDeleteOh that's a lovely kawaii card :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for joining in with the Daring cardmakers xx Leo
I love you "so kawaii" card - it's perfect! Love too the invitation (how stylish!) and the card you've made to give them. Being in charge of puddings would be my dream role for a celebratory "do" and you've chosen some of my faves to make - especially the tiramisu...mmmmm
ReplyDeleteAw what a cute little japanese doll, really meets the brief for Kawaii
ReplyDeleteThis is such a fab card! Love your geisha! Thanks joining us at The Daring Cardmakers this week.
