For the pounded flower technique I used fuchsia blossoms on watercolor paper. Warning: these flowers are very juicy and made quite a mess of my Big Shot but I was pleased with the result after cleanup. I then embossed Asian Poetry (retired SU) background in gold along with the crane stamp at bottom. Asian woman was stamped in Rich Razzleberry on the watercolor paper and colored in with marker.

Oh!!! I really love this!! You have created the most gorgeous paper to go along with your Asian card. I love the Asian theme, but sometimes it is difficult to have all of the right supplies for it. You have really made a pretty one to admire for quite some time. I love the embossed writing.
