Henna Inspired Cards

If you haven't noticed yet, henna is becoming quite popular among American girls. Originally an Indian bridal tradition, the intricate designs remind one of lacy shadows on the hands and feet. While making a card for a friend, I decided to use ideas from typical henna designs to create my card and wrapping paper. I used a grocery bag for the wrapping paper, and regular printer paper for the card. I also used a UniBall ink pen to draw my designs. There is a gorgeous henna-style wedding cake at this link: http://peacock-wedding.blogspot.com/2010/11/mehndihenna-style-peacock-design.html.

These have been done freehand. This site is GREAT for inspiration: http://www.hennapage.com/henna/what/lineart/index.html
