I remembered my little stash of embossing folders and stamps which have been neglected for a while so I have made some giving the old stuff an airing.
Quick, simple and I like it!
Chinese script on vellum. The branches cut from a bigger die in black pearly card and the flowers also from the same die set.
The 'vase' was a sentiment die with an oval centre - just snipped it off! I added a little bit of gold embossing powder to give it some texture.
And that's it.
It's a stunningly lovely spring day here (finally) - we have blue sky and sunshine - although still not very warm it is lovely to see the sun!

Hi Viv, Its been a while but I am finely getting around to visit blogs again.And am I glad to be here today. What a beautiful card. I have some stamps thatI bought from Penny Black and haven't used yet and they are so pretty.
This is just so stunning love the oriental writing in the background and the black vase and the red vase with the bit of black on it. Just perfect.
Would love Oriental to make a comeback, have so many I would love to use again. Very elegant creation and most appropriate the focal element is RED - did think you might manage to incorporate a number 3! Many thanks for joining is at Penny Black and More challenge, it's perfect.
This is brilliant Viv!....how clever of you to snip and make your vase! Reminds me about all my oriental stuff sitting there...maybe it will come back into use soon. Sunny here with blue sky today...a refreshing change to drowning!xx
I love your beautiful card! I have quite a few Asian stamps, but haven't used them in quite a few years! Your card inspires me to dig them out and ink them up again sometime soon!
absolutely beautiful Viv - the colours are just perfect. Been a perfect day in Morecambe too! Big hugs rachel x
The script looks super on the vellum, its a fantastic card design.

Your card is absolutely gorgeous Viv. I really like the way you have used the vellum. I'm going to have to get my oriental stamps out for another inking! Barbxx
Fantastic design Viv! The Chinese characters on vellum look amazing. What a great backdrop for your gorgeous red vase. The gold embossing on one side is to creative. xx
oh Viv I cannot tell you how much I love this card - it's just beautiful.
Great card Viv, loving your pretty oriental theme too, another stunner ! hugs Viv xx
Great use of the script on Vellum, it really sets off the red vase and blooms. Love the feel of it. Everything comes back into fashion eventually!
Stunning card, always loved the oriental theme so hope it is making a comeback.

This oriental look is so pretty Viv and I love the bright red vase and flowers with the black branch and the softer Chinese script in the background, and looks great on the vellum. A fabulous card! x
