With Bon Dance season just around the corner, I'd like to share this card I made for Maria from Mililani. I was her Secret Sister. Here's Yoshi and Miyono by Sister Stamps dancing under the "chochin" (paper lanterns). They were inked up with Copics. I added little sakura (cherry blossom) stickers to Miyono's hair and on her fans, and some itty bitty ones on the twine for the chochin. The sakura stickers are by Mind Wave which I got in Japan.
Here's a close-up of the chochins. I added black embroidery thread for dimension.

Thanks for stopping by. Hope you have a fabulous LONG Memorial Day weekend.
