My Geishas


I don't know what fascinated me more about watching "Memoirs of a Geisha". The beauty of of the Japanese culture, the rivalry of the up and coming geishas or the two sisters being torn apart from each other and never really knowing who they are. Whatever it was, I was completely drawn into that movie. A friend let me borrow her book knowing I will definitely enjoy that more, but I still haven't sat down long enough to start reading it.

I saw this stamp at AC Moore a couple of weeks ago and just had to have it. So I made a standard 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 card so I could have a couple of plain notecards laying around should I need one. My roommate sees them and says they don't have the pizzaz that my cards usually do. I took this as not having any ribbon, brads, glitter, etc. So I woke up one morning at 4 am with that card on my brain and had to make a 6x6 card that would have a lttle of my pizzaz.


These cards are an original done by me.

Stamps - Kanji from Stampin' Up! and the Geisha from AC Moore (www.limitededitionrs.com is the site listed on the stamp itself)

Ink - basic black, markers from SU!

Cardstock - from SU! - whisper white, basic black, real red and garden green and the patterned paper is scraps from a mat stack

Accessories - gold cord
