Japanese Thank You Flip Card

While visiting Maui, I had a few minutes to spare so I popped into the Kahului Ben Franklin Crafts store.  I didn't expect to find anything that I couldn't get from the Hilo BFC, but I did!  I purchased a Sizzix flip card die that had sold out at the Hilo store and used it to create this card.  First, I embossed part of the die cut card base with a bamboo embossing folder from Darice.  Next, I cut a second card from a piece of printed Japanese paper and cut it to fit the side of the card that was not embossed.  (Three sides of the printed paper were trimmed to show an eighth-inch border.)  The Japanese lady and cherry blossom branch (Hero Arts set) images were stamped onto marker pen paper, colored with Copic pens, cut out with a circle punch, smudged along the edge with ink, and adhered to the card with pop dots.  Finally, a Japanese character stamp (thank you) was stamped in the small cartouche on the front of the card.  This card was a cinch to make because of the super amazing Sizzix flip card die.  Thank you for visiting this site and I hope that you will return to see what other great items I found at the Kahului BFC and learn what I crafted with them.
