I was really quite pleased when I was this theme because like lots of you I am sure, I have so many lovely Orients style stamps from a few years ago when they were so popular and it's nice to dust them down and create. 
My main image is Hampton Arts 4523 Asian Poppy stamped onto a background spritzed with GM clover, tea rose and pearl. The frame was cut on a Nestie and I coloured the flowers with Copics and stamped the large poppy a second time and decoupaged. The base card is stamped with JudiKins 221J, a huge stamp but idea for backgrounds, the sentiment a Kanji cube from the Stamp Barn and the poppy made with TH tattered floral die.

Hi Brenda - love poppies so this card immediately appealed to me, it's gorgeous. I love your paper flower, such a good idea to make it from the same design paper used to frame the stamped images. Elizabeth x

Gorgeous Card, I really love the Oriental ones! Beautiful stamping and poppie and love your flower and papers!!!!
I love your use of the soft green for the background inside the frame - it really highlights the darker green of the leaves at the same time as taking away any starkness. The stamp is a real beauty & I love the poppy flower you made with that black centre - utterly effective & tactile.
Shall place the logo for the hop on my blog.
