to join in our challenge and this week the challenge is inspired by a film, we

PRIZE $20 gift certificate
I have used a digi called Japanese lady (pre coloured) from Ike’s store inspired
by the film Memoirs of a Geisha, I had a simple card in mind to add to the
requested card order for a friend who has a Japanese daughter in law, so she
likes cards using Japanese papers which I have a few of in my stash after my
Aunt went to Japan on holiday and brought me a little present back. I printed
the image and fussy cut it out layering it over a stitched circle frame and
adding a plain red circle cut from plain Japanese paper from the same pack, now
it is finished it reminds me of the Japanese flag, not intended but it works. I
added a sentiment in black ink from Close to my Heart to the red centre.
This challenge is open until February 26th, you can add your project by

Hi Megan,
oh my word this card looks very stunning and gorgeous.
Love all the red and that lady is so elegant too.
Now in the 2nd world war my Dad was un Burma and had a Japanise flag which he kept on a table as a table cloth in the officers quaters.
One night another officer brought home a nurse for a drink and she took a fancy to the flag.
The officer said to her you can't have it as it's another officers.
She persisted and in the end he said to her if you can get that flag off the table without spilling the drinks you can have it.
Well yes you have guessed it she did it all right so my Dad lost his flag.
I bet she wanted it because they were made of pure silk.
Your card just reminded me of that story hope you didn't mind me sharing it.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.
