Joining the design team Gingers this term are Gerri Herbst, Trisha Neal, Alexa Nobel, and Deb Corder. The complete list of continuing and new Gingers, along with links to their blogs, is on my sidebar. The Visiting Artists for April are Tina of Art Chix Studio, Valerie Jael-Tups, and Chris Slater. This month's muse is Juliet Arrighi. I'm excited to be working with all of these talented artists.
April has us Gingers traveling to the Far East to explore the delights of the Orient. This week's Chestnut Theme challenge is GC97 Geishas. You have until May 11th to link your creation to Gingersnap Creations. You may be selected as one of the 10 Ginger Gems!
I used Washi papers and an image from Gecko Galz Asian Flair collection. The wisdom stamp is from Stampin' Up's Kanji set. I heat embossed the words to replicate black lacquered Oriental furniture. I took liberty with the hairpins, creating my own using floral twine and hatpins. One hat pin was in a vintage pocket of goodies from Melissa Bove. The other is vintage from my grandma's collection.
This tag also qualifies for Hels' Sunday Stamper Week #148 Golden Slumber challenge. We're to include the color gold and some stamping.
