Momigami Card

 I can now share the card I made using some of the Momigami papers I made a week or so ago.   Momigami is a technique of Japanese kneaded paper.  My local swap group had this as our theme for February.   Here are the papers I made  - you can check out some of the tutorials on YouTube. 

I used hand lotion to make these papers.  Three thinner papers and one thicker double sided scrapbook paper.  I used bits of all of these to make the card that was sent to Carol.

The background piece was the thicker paper.  I kept all the scrunched up areas and ran a teal green Distress Oxide over the paper.  I used two of the thinner papers to make the flowers (Altenew's Petite Mountain Aven Layering Dies) and the flower centres were cut from the third paper.  I die cut a gold frame from Gina K Master Layouts 12 and added the flowers.  Finished with a foiled sentiment and  some glitter dots.   The papers feel so soft and fabric like.  And I was delighted on how the card turned out. 

First week back at work has been hard!  Getting up 2 hours earlier than the past few week has taken a toll.... I'm shattered.   Luckily tomorrow is a non work day and I'll be able to sleep a bit later.  

I'm sitting typing this while thunder is rumbling all around - have had some heavy rain too... but very warm and humid.
