This week's teaparty is Asian inspired. My sister had a calender from 2007 of woodblock print of Ando Hiroshige's view of the Yahagi Bridge with the Okazaki Castle in the background.
The black cut out is from the Cricut Picturesque cartridge and the coin is a Inkadinkado stamp that I embossed with gold EP.
Looking forward to seeing everyone's Asian cards this week! Thanks for taking a peek!

What a brilliant creation!! I love how beautifully this came out - it's always nice to be able to recycle, and this is a perfect example of why we should all be doing it!! Gorgeous!!

LOL, I think I must have had a very similar calendar one year. DH made envelopes out of all the pictures afterwards, they're great for recycling. Your black "screen" at the bottom is so perfect too, and the coin.

Great idea to use the calendar picture it is gorgeous! And I love how you used your cricut to cut out the shape on the bottom! The gold coin is just the perfect accent to finish your lovely card!
