Inkspirational Photo and Empty Box Project #7


Here is my DT card for Inkspirational  - we have a photo inspiration this time and here it is:

I'm sure you can see what elements I have taken from the photo! But you don't need to make an Asian- themed card - take a look at the fabulous work by our DT and our Guest Designer, Darnell, to see a wide interpretation of the theme.

The woman is cut from an unmounted stamp with 4 Geisha's sitting on a bench - not sure who made it. The sentiment (In the cherry blossom's shade there is no such thing as a stranger) and the cherry blossom branch are by Sheena Douglass and are from my empty box project box.

On New Year's day I revealed my stamping shame - a big box of unused stamps - and started my Empty Box project. My aim is to work through the box , one stamp/ stamp set at a time and see if I can use them. If I can't use them, I will dispose of them. The aim is to finish with an empty box.

 I look forward to seeing you at Inkspirational.

    This is a great card to help with your empty box project! It's such a nice card, I wonder if these stamps are keepers? :) I look forward to seeing more of what's in the box. Hope to see more projects over at Red Carpet Studios!
