Bombshell Stamps April Challenge

When my bestee came to visit this past week she brought several things with her - first and foremost she brought my mojo with her... She is my muse - the one person who stretches my creativity to its best!  No one can bring it out in me quite like Torrey can...

As an added bonus she also brought her awesome Bombshell stamp collection.  Another thing that came with that was a "request" from Kathi that I play with them while Torrey was here.  I know what Kathi had in mind - she knew if I created with them I would fall in love and have to have them... Dang her for being right!!!  Another thing I am going to have to spend my money on... Gotta get me some of those...

For this card, I used a wonderful Geisha stamp that was so easy to ink up with my Copics.  I specifically picked out this wonderful Washi paper that has such beautiful colors and details... So, when I went to color it, I tried to pull my colors and design from the paper.

I used a sketch from Kathi (the Bombshell April challenge sketch) that made this card come together so easily... I took a few liberties in design, but the essence of the sketch is still intact.  I cut the paper into four strips, then wove a simple gold shimmer paper through it, almost mimicking bamboo.  An Asian symbol sentiment and some fibers and charm were all it took to finish it off.  I love the way it came out!  I will be entering this in the April sketch challenge at Bombshell!
