Oriental thanks

The inspiration for this card came from the beautiful photo on the Inkspirational blog.  I decided to use the tree stamp from the Chocolate Baroque Serenity set as I felt it had an oriental feel.  I added the twine as the card seemed too clean and simple!

Oriental card

I am entering this card for Challenge #47 at Addicted to CAS where the code word is ORIENTAL. I inked a Hero Arts stamp and clear embossed it before watercolouring it with distress ink. I then used a white gel pen to go over the leaves. I felt the sentiment matched the oriental style.

Materials used:-
Stamp - Hero Arts Asian Frames
Sentiment - Chocolate Baroque Mackintosh Sentiments
Distress ink - festive berries
Background screen - EK punch
