Oh, I so look forward to Saturdays! That's the day of our infamous Inspiration Challenge. Today's challenge, many thanks to Dara and Stef, is to selected something from Bellacor
As soon as I opened the site, I was immediately drawn to the menu whereupon I fixed my eyes on asian. That was all I needed to see!
A another huge thank you goes out to Deb Wood, aka Purdy Bratty Barbie, for this incredulous asian image which just arrived yesterday. Along with this, came a wonderful bag filled to the brim with asian coins! Thank you so much, sweet Deb!

Oh, Anne, it sounds like it's make up time!! I think I ruffled MRS RYAN'S feathers a bit on my recent comment on the previous card you uploaded. Truly, I tell you, it just came blurting out into typed words. The good part is not only did I get my COMMENT NUMBERS UP, but I got a free "psycho"analysis from MRS RYAN!!! Sure am glad I didn't have to PAY for that!!!!! LOL!!!! I see Debzi had to get into the act too!!! Everything was going so nice and easy and I just had to go stir up the pot, didn't I?????? What can I say, I wanted some action. And, I do apologize for anything I mentioned about the treasured glasses of the deceased - how low can I go. I just assumed they were MRS RYAN'S glasses when she was "psycho"analyzing!!
Now, to your card, this is AWESOME Anne!! I love your interpretation from the inspiration piece. Only you could put a card like this together!!! That b/g stamp, the image, coloring, ribbon/cord treatment are right on the money my friend!!! Maybe you could get paid for making cards rather than offering your bogus "psycho"analyzing!!! Love ya....and TFS!!!

Soooooooooo elegant. Love the black ribbon treatment on the side. You know I would never have thought of that. I am just learning to cheat with regular ribbons. You are also correct in my comment on my sister's asian card. This IS truly asian. Great card. tfs.

Talk about timing..receiving this perfect image just yesterday. ESP at work here. Pay no attention to Pam...I am paying for some "couch" time for her as we speak. Anyway, to your gorgeous card. You did an awesome job with your inspiration...nailed this one!

Okay, now it seems like a normal Saturday/IC challenge! Your card is posted and all is well. Just yankin' your chain, Miss Anne! Beautiful, serene and somehow, the ribbon with the gold tie emphasizes the bg and image.
