The inspiration challenge today involved tenugui and we were to create a card based on one of the towels at several websites. The towels were terrific to look at and really inspiring. They made me want to draw something myself.
Okame is supposed to be full of fun and to make people laugh so thought I would follow that lead and make a cheery card.
I think I did this the hard way thought.
I hand drew her face on whisper white cardstock and then used regal rose to blush her cheeks just slightly. I'm not sure that shows up very well in the picture. Then I stamped the ribbon in her hair using an Inkadinkado clear set called Asian By Design and hand coloured some of the flowers in red and some of the background in gold. Here's the part that may have been more work than necessary. I coloured the entire white sheet black with sharpie. I thought about cutting her face out and mounting it on black paper but I wanted her to be a part of her hair and not just a face sitting on top of the hair so I went ahead and coloured in the whole thing. I hand wrote the sentiment in white signo gel pen and added red Bella's baubles to the red flowers and string of pearls baubles in her hair. I mounted the coloured panel onto real red and then onto a whipser white card base.
I really liked this challenge alot. It was fun to make this card and really got my creative juices flowing. Thanks Stef. And thanks for looking.
