Craft Stamper April Sketch Challenge

A spark of inspiration popped in my head today and I finaly managed to come up with something for the challenge here and turned the sketch on its' side. Only just in time I fear as the May issue is due very soon!!

Japanese Home

This ATC is made up of reject bits (apart from the embossed gold background which I did on purpose). The red mat that the japenese lady from PaperArtsy is sat on is a classic ;))........................as the decorative marks at the side was a failed attempt to put the card through a Fiskars lattice border punch, it turns out I liked the effect here, but I had better not try that too often!!!

The caligraphy strip held by the brads is another PaperArtsy stamp, half on and half off a printed bit of paper. I used Studio G letter stamps for the word "home", stamping onto a bit of my own design caligraphy paper.

Hope you have an arty weekend.
