WOW! Nicole Heady at Papertrey Ink has a fabulous set of challenges for today. Head on over and check out her beautiful newly designed blog AND the fantastic prizes she is giving away. She always gives out beautiful prizes and this is NO exception!

Challenge #1: Your challenge is to create a project that is inspired by either the colors, the design or the themes that are prominent in the Japanese culture.

My Card ~ I always thing red, black and white for Japanese colors...so, this is what I came up with.
The Stamped image is a Peony flower from Stampendous and outline inked in "Dark Peony" and the leaves are inked in "Olive" from Color Box Chalk Ink. The Red oval (cut out from a stencil) and the solid black papers are from DDCWV Textured Mat Stack. The Pasley/Flowery/Damasky base card is from AC Moore (I think:?)
