This is the first time I've entered the Try a New Technique Challenge. I stampled the Oriental Lady from Inkadoo's Asian Influence set over a piece of newsprint from the St. Louis Chinese Journal picked up in a Chinese restaurant. I paper pieced her kimono with origami paper. The oriental Happy Birthday by Custer's Last Stamp and the Cloisonne Fan by Michael Strong are embossed in gold. The Bamboo Branch by Great Impressions is stamped in VersaMark.

Your card is fabulous that you built up around the Chinese newspaper. Love the fans and the Asian lady in her kimono. The black bg makes it very dramatic.
