Blossoms and Fans

Hello fellow crafters, and welcome to my newest follower, Penny. We met at a Stamp Camp last weekend.

Penny's Paper Crafty has a new challenge, and our theme this week is

'RIBBON AND DIE CUTS'

Our generous sponsors this week are

I must admit when I was given the lovely Floppy Latte Design's 

Oriental Beauty to play with, I wasn't sure how I was going to 

bring her to life. I thought "mmm, oriental....washi paper, lots of 

red, and other bright colours...", then I found this lovely paper in

 my junk stash; remembered that I had a little gold fan; and the card 

took over, dictating what it wanted next. I am happy that it did.

The ribbon is metallic, and very shiny, but I could not get 

that to show up in the photo. I die-cut two of the bare

branches for the card front, then cut those into several 

pieces, rearranging them to fit the design.

The inside of the card co-ordinates with the front. These five 

flowers are punched from pearlised paper, with Liquid Pearls 

centres, while the flowers on the front are die-cuts.

I would like to enter the following challenges:-
