A card for DEC15VSND to feature Japan and specifically a Japanese tea ceremony. I used Asian paper, and two Asian stamps as well as a ribbon from the same Asian pack. The cup and teapot were heat embossed in silver, the Japanese lady was stamped, coloured with copics and fussy cut. The teapot was mounted on dimensionals

The Asian background paper adds such subtle interest with the pastel colors. Your lady's kimono is beautifully colored and the silver really sets off your tea set. Wonderful.
Thanks for playing in Dec 2015 VSN.

Oh, I used to have that paper - it's perfect for this challenge and your Asian lady looks beautiful in her coordinating colours. I like your tea set, too.

Gorgeous! What perfect elements you had for this challenge. Love how you put it all together. I like to use self-adhesive ribbon and yours is great! I like how you tilted the teapot to look like it's pouring tea. What a pretty lady. Very nicely done! You rocked this challenge. Great job. Thanks for participating in VSN and doing my challenge. TFS
