The theme this time is Black, White, Red. These colours always say 'Oriental' to me and one of the first stamps I ever bought (Judikins at Stamp Addicts) is a lovely image of a Japanese lady, which I never get tired of using in different projects and I thought it would be perfect for this.
A limited colour palette here and a simple card layout, so I didn't use too many bits and pieces; red dye ink, black pigment ink, embossing ink, along with some clear embossing powder, red water colour paint (from Inktense blocks by Derwent), a red fine liner pen and just three stamps.
The main watercoloured image was cut out and teamed up with a background of cherry blossom (Claritystamps), highlighted with red pen. The card was also lightly coloured with red ink around the edges using foam.
As an embellishment, a symbol meaning beauty (stamp from Muji) was stamped and clear embossed, cut out, then coloured with red dye ink. The clear embossing acts as a resist.
The main image and embellishment were fixed to the card with dimensional glue.
Lovely oriental ATC, thats a great Geisha image. Julia

What a beautiful ATC - great images, and I love the pop of dimension you've given the woman against that deliciously delicate cherry blossom background. Thanks so much for playing along with us at Fun With ATCs.
