Well......was determined to do this as a one layer embossed image....and must say that I have not perfected the double-color embossing process....had to go back and make corrections with my Versamark marker a couple of times on both of these cards......I do like the overall results but don't look too close or you will definitely find areas of some 'smudge'....
Both of these cards were inspired by the piece found here.....
The funny thing (to me) about this whole IC is that when I went downstairs I KNEW (ha ha) what I was going to do. I was going to do a card with one of my geisha girl stamps. Having visited Japan years ago, I was going to do something very Asian inspired.......joke was on me....none of the three of these are terribly Asian....oh well.....
Thanks for looking.

Wow! You were on a roll today! I have never tried the double embossed thing, it looks too intimidating to my simple mind, lol! This turned out wonderful!!

I couldnt wait to see what you came up with for this challenge, Joanne! I knew you'd knock it out of the park, and you did! This is fabulous. Love the wave effect, too.

This is just perfect! I don't know how you managed to do 3 cards. I can barely finish one on most days. Maybe I overthink it. Anyway, that's my story and I'm sticking to it. All 3 are wonderful and I think they're very Asian inspired.
