Let dry or heat set to make it go faster. Color the image with twinkling H2O's with olive green and purple as shown. Keep a rectangular piece of the paper and cut out the parts of the geisha that are outside of the white shape. Mount on a gold piece of paper and set aside. Take a piece of green cardstock and dry emboss it with leaf shapes. I used a fiskars texture plate, but I'm sure you can use your cuttlebug templates or similar.

Finally, with your quickutz cut out the recipient's name and glue to the purple card.
