WOW! What an awesome gallery you have Julie. Congratulations! I'll have to admit, I was a bit intimidated by all I saw in your gallery. How could I do you justice? After much deliberation I finally picked this card: LSC151 Oriental Toile by justwritedesigns at Splitcoaststampers
I went as Asia as I could to keep w/ your theme. I changed the navy to black, did piercing instead of dots, no corner punch & I watercolored my flowers. I kept thinking it looked unfinished, then I saw these black pearls. Now I'm happy. I hope you like it.
Again, congratulations Julie. Enjoy your day of honor.
Thanks for looking.

How wonderful, Karen! I love Asia inspired cards and this is really inspiring. Your water coloring is just perfect and I love the pearls in the corners. Thanks so much for taking the time to case me and for your sweet comments.

Oh Karen, this is really a phenomenal take on asian. You just may have found your just perfect style, girl! I bet if I were to ask you that question, I know what the answer would be, right? Lovely card!
