A Random {Ginger} Card

I've had this Stamping Bella Ginger Ketto stamp for a few months now and it sat sadly uninked in my drawers...well...that's not completely true. I did try to use it a few months ago for my SOL's birthday, but this happened, so I had to put it off for awhile.

Anyhoo, I first started out trying to use Mercy's Tuesday Sketch, but the card just refused to come together. So I had to dig up my old sketch references and picked out an old Taylored Expressions sketch to use. I think it still turned out *just okay* but well...I'm at a loss for what else to say. I couldn't even figure out where to stick a sentiment on this card!

Anyhoo, I used PTI Hawaiian Shores cardstock and layered washi paper on top. The celadon washi has a pattern of dragonflies (digs!) and the teal one has blossoms and these wave-like things. I wanted to add a pop of color, so I wrapped bright orange ribbon around the teal washi. I also thought it made it look like an obi, which goes along with the whole Asian theme of the card. For more pop, I Cuttlebugged an orange felt flower, topped with a Hawaiian Shores felt circle, and a {sad} naked button. I didn't mean to leave it naked, but I misplaced my scrappers' floss and don't know where it ran away to. So very sad...

Anyhoo, in Ginger's hair pins, I added some Kaiser teal blue pearls, and I sponged green around her b/c it looked empty when it was just all plain white.
