Today's inspiration site features many beautiful hand fans -- from simple to very decorative. After looking through many of the choices, I settled on this beautiful fan because of the pretty flowers (which look much like dogwoods), the rich colors, and the gold touches. After sponging a lighter blue cardstock with two shades of TH blues, I crimped it to emulate the fan-folds. (This might qualify for yesterday's Free4All challenge!) The dogwoods are stamped in Versamark and embossed with detail gold embossing powder. I added the gold trellis work in place of the gold flourishes on the bottom section of the fan. IRL the dogwoods are not quite that pink. (I'm not the best photographer!)

Those beautiful blossoms on black were a great inspiration for you. This is so pretty. I have that set so I think a case in coming up soon. Very nicely done and a great design.
