Guest Designer for One Stop Craft Challenge - Oriental Delights

I was happy to volunteer to be a guest designer for One Stop Craft Challenge.  One Stop Craft Challenge does great challenges every week and I was glad to participate.

Robyn's Fetish is sponsoring this week's challenge called Oriental Delights.  The creation should have some kind of asian/oriental theme. 

For this challenge, I used RF's poppy fairy image.  She is such a sweet image and it worked well with the oriental theme. 

Below is my card I created for the challenge:

Supplies:

Bazzil cardstock

Best Creations Inc designer paper

Martha Stewart scallop punch

Dry embossing by Cuttlebug's Asian set

Pearls from my stash

Poppy Fairy was pop-dotted and colored with Copics Coo, E02, YG0000, V0000

Thanks for stopping by!
