Week 7

This week's card is for a Japanese friend of mine that is a little homesick at the moment. She misses her family so I decided to send her a card to brighten up her spirits.

This is a simple layered card that uses a sand colored card stock with a red variegated mulberry paper that has been cut with a deckled edges scissors. A red/natural reed paper is placed on top of the mulberry paper upon which a red Japanese maple leaf has been placed.

I have always enjoyed using natural materials for cards and a little bit can go along way. This is a perfect example of how little pieces of expensive papers/items can make a big impact. Most of these materials where from my scrap piles.
