Today's IC directed us to Crystal Gayle's photography gallery on Etsy.
I got somewhat worried when I didn't see any black cards in the gallery, but when you look at my inspiration here https://www.etsy.com/listing/9109084..._20Description you might see how I arrived to the black bg and Asian image.

Wow, Anne, your gold is so shiny and pretty! It looks like your little gal, which is nicely colored in pastels, is getting ready for a walk through a Botanical Garden! Love this, and the black cs looks wonderful~

Love your Aisan card..the geisha in the corner is so lovely as part of the frame for your beautiful flowers. Don't worry about where your inspiration takes you...everyone loves to see all the interpretations.

Oh my, this is just stunning. The gold mirror frame is perfect with the black background. You colored and fussy cut the woman so nicely. Thecway she is looking through the frame at the flowers is genius.
