Jodi picked some great colors for today's CC! Pretty in Pink, Kiwi Kiss (Old Olive) and Baja Breeze( Sage Shadow).
I also used Julee's Mojo Monday Sketch, and played in the Flourishes Tues. challenge to use embossing.
I used a new stamp by Memory Box and the dp is also from Memory Box... it's a 6 x 6" stack called Sugar Drop. I stamped the image on Watercolor paper with Stazon Timber Brown, watercolored with SU! markers and a paint brush. These are tiny little flowers!!! I outlined the flowers with a Stardust Gelly Roll Pen for some glittery effects, which you totally cannot see in today's dreary light! (I really need to make that light box OKStamper sent the directions for! LOL! )
I used my CB to emboss these leaves... I think they have an Asian feel to them, as does my image. I used a MS edge punch on the Baja Breeze matting under my dp. The ribbon is SU! Pretty in Pink.
Thanks for taking a look! I'll be back later to make comments!

Grace, this card is beautiful!! The panel is certainly Asian in character, and the embossing and punching are wonderful additions!
