Arigato

I got an early birthday present yesterday from my Mother-in-law and wanted to whip up a thank you card for her right away. Some of you may know that she's Japanese. I have a whole shelf of special Asian themed stamps that I only use for her. She just loves getting a handmade card in the mail. For this one, I used a clean and simple layout. Instead of using paper for one of the layers, I hand stitched a single white thread. I used some clear microbeads on some of the sushi so they looked just like tobeko (flying fish eggs). After I colored the main image, I cut it out and placed it over a piece of sushi grass for a fun little element.

Quick post for me today. I'm off to do some Christmas shopping because I'm determined to be DONE by Thanksgiving!
Big hugs to all of you,
