For inspiration challenge IC186 - inspired by the artwork of Sarah Collier. I love collages, so have been thoroughly enjoying browsing through her collection - fabulous! I chose this card for my inspiration http://www.flickr.com/photos/colliers08/3551701938/
I just got this gorgeous Far East collage paper on a recent shopping trip and thought it would be perfect as a backdrop to the Inkadinkado asian lady. I stamped her with Tim Holtz distress ink and cut her out - then added a darker brown outline by cutting just outside the image. Popped up with dimensionals. Stamped the sentiment directly on the dp. and then added grosgrain ribbon and SU hodge podge hardware as I thought it resembled the cherry blossom.
Thanks for taking a peek!

nice choice from the IC today, Laurie! The paper is lovely and elegant, just like your theme! Check out my She lived in Nashville card if you get a chance.

Laurie this is AMAZING. I saw the lady and thought that since I had that stamp I'd put the card in my favourites then noticed it was YOUR card. I should have known!!!! I love that lady, the colours, the ribbon and the way you have blended everything together. Bee-yoo-ti-ful!

I love the soft feel to this, with those gentle muted colours. The ribbon-slide is great with it too. I actually quite like the original you were inspired by, but I have to say I prefer the oriental look!
