Inspiration challenge - abstract art. I love the elegance of the orient, so I decided to go with a more elegant look. The background is craft ink, heat set and then I rubbed the embossing buddy over it. Inked the rough around the edges wheel in versamark and just stamped around the edge of the card; embossed with gold. The front piece is part of the background stamp inked with marker. I've been hoarding this cool gold & silver flecked mulberry paper that was perfect for this challenge. Front piece is popped up.

Elegant is the perfect word for this card ! The Mulberry flecked paper sounds so neat, I would hoard it too. I really like how the edging draws it all together.

OMG I love how you did the edging (now I *know* I must have that wheel!). I just love how the cording and brad balance out on the focal image. Awesome card! Thanks for playing!
