This card was made for today's Inspiration Challenge and yesterday's Free for All Challenge. Thanks for co-ordinating these so nicely! Today's challenge took us to a site with lots of lovely fans and yesterday's challenge was to us a fan fold on the card.
I was inspired by this fan:
with the fish images. My color came from the designer paper that I used on the card.
This style is a bit outside my comfor zone. I tried to keep the elements very simple in keeping with an oriental design. My fish as sitting subtley in the background with the folded fan acting as the focal point. This week sketch worked beautifully for this card, as well.
