UKATC February Theme - Oriental

...  and the theme for February is ... Oriental!

Love it.

I printed out a twisted pyramid sheet and just used the smallest four squares, edging them with gold ink.  I used one of the backgrounds I made using red and gold stamps some time ago.  I then stamped 'Hello' in black ink onto an oval sentiment strip from the sheet.


I cut some bronze paper to fit the ATC and then attached a dragonfly brad in the top corner - bronze of course!  I sorted through my file of oriental embellishments and found some shiny photo cards.  I cut out one of them and cut the corners inwards.  When I attached this photo to the card, I managed to fit the photo under the dragonfly brad.

I found this circle left from making my Chinese New Year cards and had a light bulb moment!  I used one of the backgrounds that I made in preparation for my Anniversary swap which never materialised as I was so ill.  I thought of Ikebana flower arranging so cut the circle  to form a vase shape and slipped a die cut spray behind it.  I outlined the 'tree' and vase with a pink pen and then added a few pink sequin  flowers - thinking 'cherry blossoms'.
