When I saw that Jen challenged us to a three panel card I immediately thought of the amazing screens that we saw in Japan. Sorry to belabor our trip, but I found so much inspiration in the ordinary and in the extraordinary that I had to share.
I started by cutting the panels of handmade washi to resemble a partially folded 3 panel screen. Stamped the OnyxXpressions image in Memento Rich Cocoa and colored with Copics. Mounted each on a CTMH black background cut to fit. Glad that I stalked last night, because it gave me time to "lacquer" my frame with glossy accents. Mounted with "hinges" on a red card that was embossed with CB Asian screen. Added the zodiac charm and done PT- resting
Thank you so much for looking. Have a peaceful day.

This is just gorgeous and so creative Marie. Reminds me of one of my book club friends. Her and her Dentist husband were stationed in Japan for several years and she has collected a lot of oriental furniture that she has displayed in her home. I love for her to tell her stories of dining experiences there with diplomats. It's so fun. This just brought back those memories for me!

Those Japanese dividers have me carving Sushi - how I can go from horses to sushi amazes me, but I did LOL! Lovely job on this card.

Marie, this is a fabulous screen. I almost missed it as I was going through the pnz...so glad I didn't. OnyxXpressions has some wonderful Asian stamps, don't they? I bet you love them all. What a great reminder of your trip to get to make this screen.
