Asian Themed Card

I love red & black together when making an Asian card, I just think it fits well.  This card was made following a sketch this week on the Cricut message board.

The Asian lady is Cuttlebugged using one of the folders in the Asian pack.  I ran it through on Core'dinations black cardstock with a red core.  I sanded it down to expose the red, but I wanted a brighter red then what came through so I rubbed a red ink pad over the raised areas to give it more color.  The background red paper I stamped randomly with some Asian themed stamps using my Versamark watercolor.   At Stamp TV the challenge was to make your own patterened paper so I will be adding this to their challenge.  I will also being adding it to the "Anything Goes" challenge at Penny's Challenges The fence was cut a 4 inches wide using Pagoda cartridge.

I added a couple of red & gold Dazzles to the fan and framed the lady with shinny gold paper.
