Something Blue and Oriental

Happy Sunday everyone, I am back and of course I am looking for a challenge. My card today is for a challenge at Sophisticat Challenge blog, the challenge was to make something Oriental. I used this image from Mo's Digital Pencil, it was one of her wonderful freebies some time ago. I have always loved this image and was never sure how I was going to use it. This was the perfect occassion. The second challenge is for Crafty Creation Challenge, different shades of the same color. Well my color is blue. and I definitly have different shades of it. My first paper is a light blue card stock base from Bazzill. The layer of DP was bought at Big Lots on Friday, I saw it and fell in love. It is a deep blue with gold and is very light, almost like a vellum paper. there were 32 pieces of paper in a pack for $2.00. Only three were this design but, it was so worth it. The paper that I matted my image with is also from Bazzill only this one has more of a shine to it. I cut the lace doily with my new stamp from Martha Stewart which I bought with a 50% coupon from Michaels. You know how I love a bargain. The bling is from my stash. The large flower is from Prima's new daisy mix. and the small flowers are from my stash. I cut the leaves or branch with another Martha Stewart stamp that I also used a 50% coupon on. Love those coupons. And last but not least, I colored it with my Copics. And to feed my addiction to Copics, I bought 15 last week at Hobby Lobby during their sale. I can not buy any thing in the month of March. I went way out for my birthday month. All of my birthday money is gone and so is a lot of my money. Now on to the Copics that I used.

the Japanese symbol for love I got from the internet, I also colored the background behind the image with B00. but my picture is not as good as I would like. I have got to find a better place to take pictures.

Well, here is my card. I don't know if my skin color is quite right. But I do like this card.
