I made this card for the Inspiration Challenge #143 - Hotel Fox and I used Room #404 Wa (which is Japanese for Japanese). I really did not have any designer paper on hand for this....so I went into Photoshop CS# and designed my own red background paper using brushes! After I printed the paper using my Epson Inkjet, I sprayed it with DecoArt Triple Thick Gloss Glaze, which to me made it look more Japanese. I spent a couple of years in Japan as a child and I still remember the beauty of it. I used my Cuttlebug and the "Birds & Swirls" embossing folder to emboss the gold frame that I designed and cut using my Pazzles and it's software...it kind of gave it a bamboo look! I used some "Kings's Gold" Wausau Metallic Paper to make the frame. This challenge was really a lot of fun.....I think the challenges are causing me to be more creative!

A lovely interpretation of the room.
