Cosie's Creative Corner

Konnichiwa This month the topic for the monthly swap was foreign languages so it could be art, foreign scripts, culture etc. I decided to use this lovely digi from Little Blue Button Stamps  and coloured her with copics to match the background I printed. It was a freebie from a magazine and has some lovely themes. I printed it twice so I could cut out extra cherry blossoms for dimension. The sentiment and the image were also adhered using mounting tape. Copics: Skin: E0000,000,R20,01. Hair: W5,7,9. Kimono: R81,85,RV11,91,93. Parasol: RV000,R00,01. Flowers/Leaves: RV000,32,YG05,09.

Happy Birthday A friend I have known for 48 years is having a birthday this month and I wanted to make her a special card. She has had a hard time the last three months so hoping this will cheer her up. Anything to do with Japanese culture is her thing and I found this gorgeous image from Little Blue Button called  Sweet Geisha Charlie  and here is the result. Used Copics to colour her and patterned paper scraps from my stash for the background. The red and orange small flowers were punched from old Carl punches and the large cream one with a Fancy That die. Attached the sentiment with some twine and my Geisha was done.
