girlgeek101, our illustrious inspiration challenge leader, has led us to Pottery Barn today.
I'm very familiar with PB yet I have never seen anything Asian in their stores. Needless to say, I was incredulously delighted to come upon their online rug site. My inspiration came from: http://www.potterybarn.com/products/...key=call-rugs&.
I seem to love Asian cards as much as many stampers love their W/Cs, bisters and brushos. Since I'm not at all talented with those mediums, I decided to do what I'm most familiar with: Asian.
I tried to keep the neutral colors, but adding black and red to Asian is definitely required.
TFL.

Oh what a beautiful Asian themed card! I love your background paper and the tag at a slant is a great carry over of the darker colors in the background. Yes, you are the Asian Master!
