Around the time I started thinking about my Easter cards for this year, I saw that
Paper Source was donating a portion of their proceeds from the sale of the handmade Japanese papers they carry to organizations assisting with the relief effort.
I have always been drawn to Japanese washi papers so I knew I would enjoy incorporating some into my cards while supporting Paper Source’s efforts.
I created a focal point for my cards using my
PrintShop Deluxe program to go with this gorgeous cherry blossom paper I picked up at Paper Source:
I went to my stash and pulled out some other coordinating papers and embellishments including some of the twine I got from
The Twinery when they were also donating some of their proceeds to Japan’s relief efforts.
Each card I made has some combination of the washi paper and the focal image. Some are embellished with twine, others with coordinating K&CO self adhesive scrapbook borders.
Each card is finished off with a light tan paper flower and glittered brad from the Recollections collection at Michaels
