Oriental Birthday Card

Yesterday I had a play with my Gelli Plate

but not very sucessfully - I couldn't get

the right combination of colours to work.

However, whilst brayering off the excess paint

onto some card I managed to make what I think

was quite a nice, sketchy, scruffy effect and

it became this card.

 

I don't know what this type of card is called -

a gatefold?  The flaps turn back on themselves,

maybe an accordian gatefold?

 

 

 The main stamps I used were from

Lynne Perrella Collection from PaperArtsy

(number LPC022).

Plus a few others from my stash.

 

 

I stamped the images onto book text

(the book appropriately called 'Geisha')

 

 

A space to write the birthday greeting on the back.

Thanks for looking :)
