I was thrilled when Susan chose here theme of Oriental at Allsorts as I have so many stamps from when it was really popular a few years back and have been secretly hoping it will make a comeback. This weeks sponsors are FlonzCraft and QKR Stampede.
I have no idea of the make of stamp here, it's a really old wood mounted one which hubby bought me many years ago and has no identity on it at all. I used my Wink of Stella pens to colour the image and Pan Pasels in the background, decoupaged her fan, used some of the new Graphic 45 Botanical Tea DP's and some cherry blossoms.
Happy weekend all.
What a beautiful card, and green is my favourite colour so I really love this :o)

Beautiful card. Those blossoms flowers are a perfect addition. I love Asian style stamps and I hope they are making a comeback too.
ReplyDeleteVery striking indeed with your lace accents echoing the pattern on her dress beautifully . The patterned paper gives a lovely lily pond effect adding to the oriental feel of the whole. I particularly like the way her head & the fan project outside the circular mats.
