Oriental

Good afternoon. 
The sun is shining and its another wonderful day on the Llyn Penisular in North Wales. The sun is so hot that we have had to come in from the beach to take a bit of a siesta. I can't believe our luck with the weather this week.
There are a couple of challenges which have caught my eye so I thought I would have a go.
Over at ATCAS the cue word is

and the one at CASology is


Now I had a card in mind for the ATCAS challenge then the CASology one came along so I have combined them both with this card.


I had lots of ideas about the word Oriental but was impressed with Loll's DT card based on the Japanese art of minimalist flower arranging,
  IKEBANA.
I used a cut down Spellbinders window as a background, a bowl made from a cut down Spellbinders label die in black, a strip of red and some branches and some Memory Box die cut tulips. As the cue for CASology was 3 then three flowers it was. I used a Personnel Impressions greeting to complete. I know red is an auspicious  colour in China but not sure about Japan. Apparently white is the opposite so I hope it isn't in Japan as well!

OK that's about it for today. Don't forget that the latest challenge over at Cardz4Guyz is CAS so why not pop over and link up a masculine CAS card, you never know your luck.

Thanks for popping by, see you again soon.
