As hostess for March, I challenged the
CCEE Stampers to go
INTERNATIONAL this week. It can be through image, sentiment, or embellishment. I have always had a love for the Orient which was enhanced after spending a month in Japan years ago......a trip of a lifetime is my best way of describing it. I used a SU set for the image. Unfortunately, I am thinking my eyes deceived me in the creative process. The ribbon I used seemed to match, but in the picture it appears more blue than lavendar. I will probably be replacing that, but I just didn't have time before posting this. My image is embossed in Amethyst embossing powder. The gold vertical panel was dry embossed, and I added some paper piercing and brads.
Now be sure to check out the
CCEE Blog to travel the world through the fabulous DT's creations.

awesome card Joanne
I knew you'd chose Oriental!!! What a beautiful tribute to all things Asian! Beautiful work, Joanne.
Great card, wonderful image, and I really like the gold panel. A month in Japan? Wow! You must have really gotten to take in some sights.
I'd believe your eyes more than the photo - I don't know why some things look fine IRL but you take a photo and they don't appear to match at all. Love the elegant sophisticated look to this - that paper and the embossed gold strip are so perfect with your Japanese lady. I've never been as far as Japan, but we always include a visit to the Japanese Cultural Centre when we're in Paris; even when they don't have an exhibition on, the shop is a joy to wander around.
So beautifully done, Jo. I Love the lavender with the gold.
Beautiful in lavender! I'm so glad your embellishments were mostly piercing and ribbon, as that image really speaks for itself. Lovely, JOanne!
Beautiful card, and I hope I get to do your terrific challenge today!
Joanne this is so PRETTY!~
Jo,

Beautiful Asian theme, Joanne! I hope you decided to keep the ribbon, even if the hue may be slightly different...it adds a lot to the visual interest to the card! Gorgeous!
What gorgeous colors!!! The Asian theme is perfect with them!
