This page is for the Red & Gold Challenge at Gingersnap Creations.
I wanted the gold to be really bold and so I used gold leaf and beadazzles around the edge of page. I embossed the backing paper for the photograph with gold bamboo images.
The cherry blossom was created using a stencil by Crafters Workshop.
The lanterns were folded from very thin gold paper which I splodged with alcohol inks. They are hanging on gold crystal chains from the cherry blossom.
I used some oriental newspaper to back the photos which I had printed onto a transparency and for my embossed 'E'.
