Colored a piece of thick vellum with real red re-inker and a sponge, set aside to dry. When dry stamped the little flowers from Colorful Seasons onto the vellum in Fresh Fig and Crushed Curry, scored the vellum and created the fan fold. Pierced the base of the fan with a large upholstery needle and threaded the gold thread with a dental flosser, folded a gold jewel element over the base of the fan and tied the string to hold it in place. Added another gold element and used gold crimps to keep everything on the string.
Stamped the bamboo onto watercolor paper after stamping off twice to give it a lighter watercolor look.
Punched out a ticket shape from the SU ticket punch and hand printed the characters for "Friend", backed with gold foil. Added a strip of gold foil to the back of a piece of the Fresh Fig card stock between the card stock and watercolor paper.

This is so elegant and beautiful, Betty! I'm Japanese, and yet you make a more "Japanesey" card than I do, and you write the Japanese character (friend) better than I do!!! ;-P Hideko
