Tuesday Morning Sketch Challenge #59: Asian Influences

Stamps: Prairie Fairy 'The Geisha', SU 'Artfully Asian' sentiment. Cardstock: Bashful Blue, Chocolate Chip, Basic Grey 'Kioshi' DP, GP 110 white. Ink: Copics, Chocolate Chip. Accessories: Papertrey chocolate satin ribbon, Nestabilities long rectangles and Label.

Welcome to Tuesday Morning Sketch Challenge #59! Here is our sketch for this week:

Our sponsor this week is Prairie Fairy Designs which provided this elegant 'The Geisha' image. I'll admit that I just don't do Asian themed projects well, having only Japanese restaurants and Shogun as my knowledge base, so I left he color and design up to Basic Grey by paper-piecing with 'Kioshi'.


For a great tutorial on digi paper piecing, check out Melissa's tutorial HERE. It's a step-by-step photo tutorial that will evenshow you how to save DP as well.

  2. This is lovely; the colors you chose are beautiful and fit the theme beautifully. I admit that I get in a rut with an Asian theme and usually do black and red but I love the gentle colors here more.
