Sarah (stampntxn) over on the Stampin' D'Amour blog has challenged us to make a card or ATC with either of the following themes: China or Your favorite Olympic sport. Since I don't have much stash in the "sports" line, I chose to go with CHINA as my theme.Being "obsessed" as I am, I was thinking about what to do for the challenge half the night! Since it was on my mind, and I had an idea forming, I just had to get up and put it together. The bg paper is from the DCWV (Far East) stack pack and worked perfectly. The twigs & bird image is by Stampendous and to me it has an Asian flare so thought it would work nicely with the dp. The glossy black frame is actually the negative which was cut using my rectangular Nestabilities. The positive portion of this was used on another project. (Can't waste those scraps.) The gems are Hero Arts, the ribbon is from Michaels and the sentiment is actually a Christmas sentiment by Stampendous.
The fan was an after-thought! As I was photographing, I thought it needed a little something "more" ... this scrap piece of red vellum which was already punched, using Martha Stewart's doily lace border punch, was laying on my work table and was just what I needed to create a fan.
Darlene this is a beautiful card!
