Gingersnap Creations- Geishas

The GC97 Challenge is Geishas and if you know me I love anything to do with Oriental themes.
I have made a Geisha ATC for the challenge.
I have used handmade papers in red and black. The black on the LHS is cut and folded to form little folds in the border. I have also stamped and embossed in black some small flowers from a Studio G stamp using Black Soot distress ink. I made a tassel from black embroidery floss and attached it to an Asian coin. The bottom strip is a piece of tissue with some oriental characters on it. I also thought to add some pearls for a final touch with an added Gold Gelly Roll pen to make a fine gold border around the ATC. The lovely Geisha was found somewhere on FlickR.
Thank you for looking my dear blogging friends.
Now for my next post which will surely get you running to your nearest home improvement store.
