In keeping with the April Asian theme at the Gingersnap Challenge Blog, this month's color challenge is red & gold, which are good luck colors in Chinese culture.
I really wanted a beautiful Geisha image for my card, but didn't have any, so I did what any industrious crafter would do ... went searching on Etsy. I found these lovely Geisha collage sheets from Ephemera Emporia (and they have buy one get one free in April).
I paired my Geisha with some red and gold metallic origami paper and a vintage Stampin' Up sentiment (from 2000).
This card is also for the Say it with Subtlety Challenge at 365 Cards ... I think this card will be perfect for lots of people in my life ... because doesn't everyone appreciate a little harmony?
Such a tranquil piece. The geisha image you choose is just perfect.What a lovely statement.take care, gerri

Beautiful card, Stef! Even though the color palette is bold, this has such a soft, subtle feel to it - love it.
