Fan-tastic!

It's time again for another Prettie Peek.  Today I get to show you You're Fan-tastic from Paper Pretties.  I just adore this set - I think Sophia looks so beautiful in her pretty kimono! Remember the release is April 1st so mark your calender!

When making an Asian-inspired card I usually find myself reaching for red so I purposely tried to go in a different direction this time.  I remembered this beautiful dp from the Basic Grey LilyKate collection and thought the flowers were so like the flowers on the fan.  So my color inspiration was actually the dp itself!  The sentiment was cut out with Nestabilities and sponged a bit before removing the die.  The fun pink flower is just made using a SU! Scalloped circle punch and about 12 layers of pink tissue paper that were scrunched and wrinkled before tacking them together with a brad - love it!!

A couple of details that are hard to see - on the top 1/3 of the cardbase I stamped a background using light blue ink.  I also added tiny rhinestones to the tiny pink flowers on the left side.

You can see more sneak peeks today by visiting Frances and Jackie!  Thanks everyone - have a great day!!
