Happy Aloha Friday Peeps! Hope you have a fun and exciting weekend up ahead.
I was so excited to have received my Yumi and Fumi stamps so quickly. WOW, talk about speedy service. I eagerly inked up "Yumi Peace Sign" and created this Mother's Day card. Using washi paper that I bought in Japan, I paper pieced Yumi's kimono. Doesn't she look happy all dressed up? I think she's ready to go Bon dancing.
And here's a peek inside. I fussy cut a few flowers from the same washi paper used for Yumi's kimono.

Things have been pretty busy on my end and I have not been able to visit blogs like I usually do. I noticed that I missed out on some fun posts and creative cards. I especially like the Hello Kitty card that you posted in one of your posts. :) I really like your Yumi card too. Yumi's kimono is beautiful. I am sure that your mom will feel very honored to receive the card from you for Mother's Day. Have a fab weekend and a crafty one too.
such a lucky mom to get this wonderful card, your Yumi is coloured to perfection :)

Oh gosh, that's a sweet Mom's Day card. I love the cool shape. Sorry I haven't commented much but I've been traveling and found it difficult to find time to do more than a quick peek at your wonderful blog posts.
this is such a cute shaped card Karen-love the image-you were in Japan-how exciting
Very sweet Mothers Day card... lucky, lucky mom! I am always amazed when I see your washi pieced kimonos, they always look fabulous. Gotta try it one day, but first gotta find washi with print tiny enough...
p.s. fussy cut washi flowers are such a neat idea!
That image just begs to be paper pieced and I think you chose the perfect paper to do so!! Fab! Thanks for joining in the fun at LMMS!!!
What a Beautiful card, Karen, and she looks very happy!!!
