Asian Autumn

     Today I bring you a rather different autumn card.  I used J97 Asian Scenery to help me create this simple  Japanese style card.

    This lovely Asian landscape was colored with colored pencils and odorless mineral spirits.  This is my favorite way to color up a card and one I almost always use. The cloud filled sky is chalk inks sponged around a cloud shaped template.  I added White paint pen to create the snow cap for Mt. Fuji as well as ripples in the water.  The Tree is given sparkle and dimension using stickles.

     Since this gorgeous stamp can stand on it's own and Japanese art is usally very clean and simple I did not add any embellishments to the card.

    Don't hesitate to check out our shop where we have a number of wonderful Asian stamps.
