So I have been absent from the card making world for the month of April due to the great A to Z challenge but now I need a rest and what better way that making a card with Zen in mind. I need some Zen to the power of ten! Can I say I hate exacto knives! All the fussy cutting but it works. OK now before I go off and veg for the night I thought this needed to be up and running:) I shall write about my survival of the A to Z in a couple of days:)
Very cute card!! I bet it felt good to be a bit creative like this after the month of crazy A/ Z :)

DeleteThat's beautiful. I can't have an exacto knife. No sharp objects for me.

Janie
Thanks! I am not one for those knives
DeleteLovely. With the cranes and the flowering trees, it has a very Japanese feel.
ReplyDeleteI was going for that and with a hint of Van Gogh
DeleteVery nice.
DeleteVery pretty. I agree that it has a very Japanese feel.

Thanks so much for joining us with both House Mouse & Friends and Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge.
Thank you:) Enjoyed creating it
DeleteThat turned out really nice! Like the 3D effect.
ReplyDeleteThanks Alex!
DeleteCool card and very impressive cutting, Birgit. It has me wanting to find the Husband's exacto knife and cut something out to approach zen. It would've been better than drinking a strong cup of black coffee and thinking unnecessary thoughts.
ReplyDeleteAh I bet you can make beautiful things...just no unnecessary thoughts with the exacto knife:)
DeleteBack to normal! Lovely card.
