Arigato (Thanks card)

Hi! I've been busy on my work since May has begun. :(
But I do wanted to entry the 'GoGreen' challenge of the Hero Arts, this week. Because I always think and do for saving energy.
So I took 2 hours only tonight for making a card by using wrapping papers for the flowers, the confectioneries' package or wrapping paper, calenders, A4 size envelopes which I received and kept for recycling.

This is the card, 'Arigato (Thanks card)'.
The Asian Frames is actually a left over items. (I made it before, but I didn't use it.)
The Dots and Flowers was Heat embosseing with white powder on a flower photo calender of 2008, the washi papers that are red, dark purple, and black are the Japanese Sweets's packages. I rolled up and made them like sticks. (Only red paper was heat-embossed with gold.)
The image of this design is 'hair accessories'. The Asian Frames is likened to a chignon cap, and 3 rolled paper sticks and a yellow paper are likened to ornamental hairpins.

  3. Hi Tomo. Thanks for visiting my blog. I've been popping in and looking at yours for a little while but not made comments. I see that you have listed teddybear making as one of your interests. I too make Teddies... but not for a while now as cards have taken over. but I have about 15 teddies I made sitting on my dresser in my bedroom that I have made.
