Got my Far East stamps from LIzzie Anne and wanted to play. Sentiment and backdrop shadow plant are from this set. Coin and focal image are from "Far East" Collection from Inkadinkado. Kanji stamp I purchased at stamp show and it was unmounted. No idea who manufactured it.
Okay I'm cheap. I really don't like using brads on a card, so instead I use my Stampin Up "Double Circle" punch and punch out a coordinating color and adhere. I like the effect. Used Stamping Up brass "Seeing Spots" template to pierce a circle around the coin image. used sponge dauber w/colorbox brown shade to give a graduated shade effect to the focal.
I feel like I am constantly struggling with layouts. What do you think??

This card is stunning. I love the color combo and the asian theme. It looks like a simple layout at first glance, then you see all the details. Into my favorites it goes!
