Stunning! (I think I may have some of these kimono outline stickers - thanks for reminding me to look for them!) The brilliant scarlet coloring lets the gold just gleam and clever to heat emboss the embellies. The tassels made such a wonderful trim to complement your oriental theme. Very lovely card.

What a stunning card! I remember having those kimono peel offs too! I love unearthing very old stash, it feels like having brand new stuff. In fact one of the reasons I picked Oriental for the theme at Cardz 4 Guyz was because I was pretty sure a lot of us had some suitable stash gathering dust in the back of a cupboard somewhere! Thanks for sharing your lovely work with Cardz 4 Guyz
