an Asian Inspired card


I created this card for 3 challenges.

The Cuttlebug Challenge Blog #65-to celebrate their new Asian line of Cuttlebug folders, they asked us to create a mostly white background using Asian products if you have them

Belli Challenge #82-Use up your stash of glitter or rhinestones

Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge #35

I think Asian stamps and papers are so pretty. I am excited about Cuttlebug coming out with some new Asian Cuttlebug folders! I don't have any yet so I used the Floral Screen embossing folder. I embossed the image Puccini's Muse by Stampington and Co. with red embossing powder. I added ribbon, red rhinestones and a flower. Thanks for stopping by!
