Here's my card for the Blogger's Challenge for this week. We were supposed to case the card from page 21 of the Stampin' Up Occasions Mini Collection 2008 catalog (the dog one).
I chose a stamp from Rubber Romance as the focal point and a sentiment from Papertrey Ink's Pond Life set. I used Chatterbox Inc. patterned paper for the background and also paper pieced the parasol with it. I colored the geisha with Copic Markers and then highlighted the flowers on her gown with Spica markers.
The flowers are from the Bride's collection from Michaels. They come in white or ivory but are super easy to color with Copics to match your project. I added Glazed Brads from Basic Grey's Two Scoops collection.

Such a cute card, but sorry that is not a kimono-a geisha wears a kimono.
A kimono always has a V-neck, wrapped left over right and held together with an obi sash/belt. I think it's more Chinese, but I am not too knowledgeable with that.
Friends are like the walls of a house. Sometimes they hold you up, sometimes you lean on them. But sometimes, it's enough to know they're just standing by.
