Here's the Design Team:
Today's featured set can be used a couple of different ways - clean and simple or on an elaborate card.  My first card is clean and simple just using some Die Cuts With A View Far East designer paper as part of a background, then using the chopsticks to stamp a panel before adding the stamped take out box.  Due to the migraine I've been dealing with, the card took longer than it should have to put together.

The second card is more elaborate using some handmade green/gold designer paper, die cut green/gold fern leaves, brads, gold cord, ribbon, charm, and two popped up fortune cookies for extra dimension.  I also color spritzed a hunter green marker over the take out box for a little extra something.  I like how this one came out so much, I'm entering it into this months Virginia's View Die Cut challenge.

Thanks for stopping by today.  Have a great day and don't forget to stop by the rest of the design team blogs to leave some love for a chance to win today's featured set.


Come on back tomorrow for more creativity.

    That second card is really something! At first I thought the crimped leaves were rolled ribbon. (Duh!) Very rich-looking colors.
