Washi background

  I found some delightful Washi tape that is Asian themed : )  It is not easy to find, so I bought lots!  I took a few minutes and made a Thinking of You card for one of the About Oriental Art Yahoo group members that is having some health issues.


 I simply laid the tapes down diagonally on a card base, and made another strip 1 1/2" wide with the same pattern, then flipped it upside down to add a little contrast.  I decided yellow was the best match for color, so pulled out some yellow cardstock to coordinate.
  I die cut some pretty flowers, and took the SU sentiment and cut it out with a stitched tag die.  The final touch was adding some sequins.
