This is actually for three challenges. First, the CCEE Stampers Challenge is to add an international flair to your card with language, image or embellishment. I used the CB Mandarin Screen EF and a punched out Chinese symbol for Good Luck. The queen for a day is mepylant. Melina's gallery isn't huge, but it's packed full of beautiful projects. I was inspired by her Patterned paper pieces card that she did for a Sketch Challenge. I punched the flowers instead of using dp and I changed the layout slightly. Finally, over at Totally Stampalicious, the challenge is all about flowers. Using the MS Hydrangea punches, I punched, sponged and embossed the blooms. I used the SU! Clear Circle Die for the big circle and 1-3/8" Circle Punch for the Chinese Symbol. The Chinese symbol was sent to me by Tater. She sent me several so I'll have some for future use. Thank you, Tate!!! Thanks for taking a peek!!!

Nothing prettier than an Oriental looking card in bold red, white and black!! Love that embossed BG with the black circle and then a repeat of the red for the vine and popped with the white flowers - this is AWESOME! hugs
