This is my absolute favourite of all the papers I have bought at the Japanese Paper Place in Toronto. The little flowers are all outlined in gold. It's awesome IRL I hope Wha Ok will like it. She is a young Korean Christian who has an aggressive brain tumour and is not expected to have very much time left here on this earth. I have had a DCWV set of papers, embellishment and ribbons for at least 5 years and haven't used them a lot. The fan was perfect for this, but I had to use the backside, which I brayered to coordinate with the flowers on the paper. I had trouble heat embossing the sentiment on the fan, and finally did it on white cs, cut it out, sponged it and glued over the messed up sentiment. I added the little round gold gems and it was finished.

Hello Ina, it's me again. I am not sure if you received my thank you PM I sent to you yesterday. I was thanking you for the beautiful photo and gorgeous images. You are a very special lady Ina. Can you let me know if you received it, I babbled a bit so it probably isn't a bad thing LOL.
