Tokyo Gardens Geisha

When I saw this beautiful Geisha image at SheepSkiDesigns,

I got an idea, what I just HAD to test right away.

Paper piecing with Gecko Galz Tokyo Garden papers.

Background paper is from the same set.

For the little boys

I was trying out The Smackin' Acetate technique,

and really like these two backgrounds I came up with.

Sentiment is from Unity Stamps, little boy stamp

from Carabelle. Stars are made by using stencil and DO ink.

I'd like to enter this card to:

For a second card I used stamps from

Smackin'

I have a summer flu thinky going on

and between naps I watched some 

crafting tutorials from YouTube.

Happened to see this "Smackin' Acetate"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=43ft6Y-81gc&t=493s

and wanted to try it with my Zig markers.

This was my first try,

I think I used color too wide ...

live an learn ... I also colored my 

stamp (Katzelkraft)  with Zig markers. 

Didn't add a sentiment, thought it would

steal the attention from the fish.

Just layered on black cardstock.
