As soon as I looked at the sketch, I thought of fans. Yes, I made tiny little folds in stamped vellum to make those fans! Yikes! I can't believe I did that! LOL! This is the first time I've used that Cuttlebug EF. I think it works well with my Asian theme. I used layers of foam pop-ups to get the top layer at the right level. My original thought was to emboss the top leaves with gold EP, but I thought it would take the focus away from the fans. Thanks for taking a peek!!

CarrollAnn, you clever and brave gal. I would waste my entire stash of vellum trying this...and you did it so perfectly! Everything is in keeping with the Asian theme- the red, the little flower blossoms and the bamboo image. Great job.
