Asian Again

Well, I did finish off my second entry for the Gingersnap Creations Color Challenge by adding some beaded fringing to the base of the card when I got up this morning.


I had begun this card ages ago by stamping the Geisha on acetate twice.  That meant I could turn one of them back to front and so get a mirror image.  I wanted to create the illusion of twin Geisha's welcoming you to the karyukai as I thought twin Geisha's would be quite novel in a situation like that.  I then added the acetate to some gold mirror card and made a shrine type frame for it in black cardstock to which I added some red jewels.  

I then added some red beads which to me looked as if they could have been Asian and a second row to fill them out.  The whole was then mounted on Gold mirror card and finally on red cardstock.

This really is a last minute entry to the Challenge but one which I started when the Challenge was first put up - hence the determination to finish.
