Monochromatic Asian Fan and Lady

Monochromatic is this month's theme. And I have 2 cards to share with you.

This card using a variety of pinks, has an Asian feel to it. 

With the symbols at the bottom (Chinese) Hope, and the flowers from Stamp Set 177 Asian 2 - Japanese Lady, along with the beautiful pink colors, this card could certainly brighten someone's day.








Next, is a very vintage Art Deco style card - straight from the 1920's. Isabelle (Stamp Set 183, Hat Ladies - Danielle) is one of my favorite stamps. Such elegance.

Her dress and hat are covered in Gold glitter, and her shawl is in Moonrise tinsel glitter.

    What neat cards! I love the bright pinks on the first one. I love how you framed the second card with the strips. Great job!

    Your asian card is so elegant and really like the design on the art deco card. Love the shawl (tinsel glitter) accent you made on the deco card.

    What a lovely fan on your Asian card. You were so creative with the glitter and tinsel on the second card. I like how you embellished the corners, too.

    Two awesome cards. Love the gold-edged "fan" on the first card and then the background in the 2nd card is so cool!

    Oh, my! Such beauties. Both are wonderful, but my favorite is the Asian one. That design is so perfect for the upcoming Cherry Blossom season. Great details used on both as well.

    They're both so stunning that I can't choose a favorite. Love the glitter tinsel on the wrap! The Asian one is just in your face fabulous though.

    Both your cards are very distinctive Karalee. The gold edging on the fan is great. The layout on the pink card is perfect. And the gold embossed letters look beautiful.
    The second card really has a nice look to it with the black corner lines and pearls. The white tinsel on her stole against her gold dress is gorgeous.
    Well done.

    I love the pinks combined with the gold embossing and it's a great card design as well! However, I'm simply in LOVE with that Art Deco lady's mink stole! The glitter tinsel makes it :)

    My favorite card was the Asian-themed card. I liked the geometric design of the card, and I felt it was a good example of the mono-chromatic theme. I thought it was very clever to use the flowers inside the fan. The flowers added a distinct dimension for the card--very pretty.
