This is my sample card for today's TLC challenge....
The sweet little Geisha Girl from Hero Arts Japanese Garden set was paper pieced with Konnichiwa papers from Basic Grey. The shading and black details on the kimono, the face, hair, hands, and shoes were all colored with Copics. The background paper is also from the Konnichiwa collection and the paper pieced lanterns are from My Cute Stamp's NiHao set. The felt *grass*, sewing, ribbon, and button finish it off. TFL and we would love to have you join us for the TLC challenge!!!

This is amazingly sweet, Joan. I love your images (we just visited my son in Japan last month!) & the wonderful DP that you used - and the way that you used it! Your textile details are fabulous, wonderful card to get us started. Happy Birthday, fellow May baby. May your day and year be filled with joy, love and peace.
