I was over at Split Coast Stampers the yesterday and I saw their “Ways to use it” challenge, I have never done a SCS challenge before so I thought it was about time I did! The challenge was to use black. Since I am a vivid color girl I decided to expand my horizons and give it a try:
Here is a close up of the geisha (Lots of foam tape on this card folks!)
I use stamps from About Art Accents. The card base is by Strathmore. I used a Sumi-E brush and black ink for all of the coloring, to get a variety of shades I diluted the ink with water. The pagoda in the background I cut with my Cricut using SCAL software. You can grab the pagoda svg file for free here. Maybe you can use it on your kids school project or something 🙂
That’s all for now, thanks for stopping by and til next time happy crafting!
