This fortnight's beautiful photo at FOR YOUR INSPIRATION which Steph has provided for us to work with, screamed "Oriental" to me, however, it might scream something else to you!! That is the joy of working with these stunning photos - we all see something different in them.
All the details, plus some fab. work from the other Teamies, can be found by clicking the link above.

..... and my interpretation .....


Recipe:-
Real Red card - Stampin' Up
Cherry Blossom stamp - from a very old acrylic set by Habico called "Chinese Flowers 2.
One of my all-time fave. stamps - "Cinnabar" from Stampington .

Your card really captures the oriental feeling of the picture. I might have to get out my oriental papers that I got in the Christmas sales. Rachel.
