Hello again
Highly unusual for me to post twice in two days! I have a friend who has a Japanese daughter-in-law and asks me to create a card especially for her each year. I have been looking online and discovered a handmade card using Japanese papers which have been padded. I have gone fairly basic with my card and added an embossed background which is also seen in the patterned paper. A further search suggests this technique is called Japanese Padded Paper Quilting here is a link to another blogger Christine where I read about the technique.
Inside each square is a smaller square of cardstock which I attached a very thin layer of quilt batting, about 1/3 the usual thickness of the batting. I then wrapped the patterned paper around and stuck the paper edges onto the back. A little like covering school books.
Here is my card:-
What I used:-
Embossing folder
Gold paper
white cardstock
Couture Creations 'Asian Wave' Embossing folder
Japanese paper squares
Stitched square dies
thin layer of quilt batting
Mystery Sentiment stamp
Clear embossing ink
Gold embossing powder
