First Design Team project by Phoebe Tonosaki

Hello all, it is my greatest pleasure to be here with you all.


My name is Phoebe Tonosaki.
I am from Hong Kong, 
I get married with a Japanese at 2004 and moved to Japan since then.

I have always loved paper crafting and any creative activities.
I started my art journey a few years ago to explore myself and also
challenge to things that I was not able to when I was young.

I started off with altered arts and then soon fell in love with scrapbooking as well.
Beautiful papers, bright colorful flowers and shapes of chipboards stimulate my 
imagination a great deal and I get comfort and peace when creating them.
Blue Fern Studios has always been my first choice when doing mixed media layout.
The designs are always the most mesmerizing ,
and the paper quality is always on the top rank especially because I love to do heavy layering.

I am thrilled to be able to on the design team 2019!
Hoping to share many inspiring and interesting projects with you all !

So here please let me share my first project !
Since this is the first time many of you get to know me.
I want to show you some of myself !

This is me !  a fun photo taken with snap chat :D


 I chose Purple and Green as the main colors cos they are my favorite colors.

I started with using Stamp - Home Accents to make subtle and brief pattern on random area. I used   "Spring Parade" as the base, matching up with chipboard Jeweled Page Baubles which embossed with embossing powder "Pansy", then a piece fm the self adhesive printed chipboard shapes "Artisan Collections Remnants"to create the layers.


Then I used multiple Blue Fern Studios flowers in purple and mint green to add more elements to the whole piece. 

As I aim for simple beauty for this layout, 
I only added very briefly sprays around the two areas to link up all the colors.




I hope you like my first work and looking forward to hear fm you !
Greetings fm Japan !
