Ningyogami Class - Sneak Peek #4

The last sneak peak for this month's class is a young man in a hapi type coat.  APT Stencil called Bamboo Background is used on this card and it would be perfect for someone's hakudoshi or a birthday.

Thank you for stopping by!

Ningyogami Class - Sneak peak #3

The moment I saw the Sakura Wheel stencil by A Place in Time, I immediately thought it looked like a Japanese Parasol, also known as the wagasa.   I found this old picture on the internet:

Hence, my take on the picture is today's Sneak Peak.
Have a good one!

Happy St. Paddy's

To Everyone...Happy St. Paddy's!

Just a quick card...a different version of a diagonal pocket card.  There are so many versions out there; thought I would try one.

The front decorated with clover dp, stamp is $1 Studio G, Marvy scallop punches & embellished with brads & grosgrain ribbon. The inside pocket decorated with Clover dp.

Pocket card perfect for your next tea swap.  Just tuck a couple bags of teas in the pocket.

Enjoy!

Ningyogami Class - sneak peak #2

This card using APT stencil called Bamboo 1. Beautiful stencil created by Bill! You don't see it in the picture but we topped the bamboo stencil with Glossy Accents. You could add Stickles instead.
