The things I love

Japan Birthday Card

This is the Birthday card I have made for my best friend Val it was her birthday on Wednesday and I choose the design as she has just enjoyed an amazing holiday to Japan with lots of happy memories and I hoped that this card will remind her of  them .



The image is from Lili of The Valley and she is delightful I really enjoyed painting her and finding all the oriental embellishments. My attempt at a fan from a doily worked out well. I've decorated the inside by cutting around the image and attaching some of the butterflies to match the front
