Wonderful challenge, Julia! I need more of these challenges that force me to use some of the DP I hoard. I think the problem w/ my DP is that it's so pretty I have to buy it. Then it's so pretty I don't want to use it and take the chance of running out. If there is ever a paper shortage, I'll be sitting pretty on my mountain of DP.
I tried really hard to get a pic showing the sparkle I added to my dp. I used an embossing pen to trace around the design and then embossed it w/ the Oriental Fire ep, which is a very sparkly gold/red. On the black/white dp, I stamped one of the images w/ gold ink.
The images are black embossed, colored w/ markers, then cut out. They're attached w/ foam tape to a black nestie circle. I used a fortune out of a real cookie, trimmed it and placed it by my stamped cookie.
The sentiment is also black embossed and cut w/ a nestie flower set. I cut a ribbon slide/buckle w/ a nestie set and slid my narrow layered strip thru it.

I am so like you. I hate using my dp. I hoard it all the time. I always buy two sheets or more at a time. I am always sad when I use it all. LOL. I think I need therapy. Love this card Julie. The images are great. Super job...I can see your sparkle...

What a great card! That Boxer paper is perfect here but I never would have thought Asian when I look at mine. You have really created something special. Love all the Asian art. Thanks for sharing your talent.
