It's time for a new challenge at Craft Your Passion and this week the theme is 'Fancy edges/Borders'.
Our sponsors this week are 'Stitchy Bear's Digi outlet'
As Manga is typically Japanese, I wanted to use a Japanese style plant or tree for the background.
I picked a beautiful Cherry blossom. I kept the colours of her dress very similar to the background. For the cherry blossom I also cut extra layers of 3 of the flowers, so that I could create solid raised flowers for these parts.
My card edge was created using my silhouette and is cut from the same layer the image is on. I then placed a blue mat (as it contrasted well with the pink) behind the image so that you could see the colour through the cut edges.
From the selection of beautiful images we were given, I picked 'Ruffles' - To me she looks like a Manga/Anime character, so that's the theme I tried to follow to create my card.
