Here's my DT card for this week's Inkspirational Challenge and I'd like to tell you that the camera IS lying - the card does not have a yellow/brown tinge and yet , no matter how many times I photograph it, it still appears to! I think it might be a sort of reflection off the embossing....
All the stamps here, (except the sentiment) , are from Sheena Douglass's oriental range . As a child, I remember hearing the story of the pictures on Willow Pattern china plates, and quite enjoying it. (I think there were some runaway lovers involved!) I wanted to get the feel of old china on my card, so, after composing the image, I triple embossed the whole panel in clear embossing powder.
Anyway, our challenge is 'blue and white/cream' and we have a wonderful guest designer Laura, so I hope you will come and have a look and join in.

Fantastic card, Marina! It's funny you mention the bit about china as it reminded me of my Mom's "good" plates when I was growing up. They were blue and white although not actually china. LOL.
That's a great scene that you've created, the color blue really suits these stamps! Very beautiful. xxx
This is neat Marina! I love your use of the blue on this and I have never thought to clear emboss after I was finished with a panel... I will have to consider this. I love the Asian feel. Great stamps!

Wow, Marina - your card does 'create a scene' and a most gorgeous one at that! My grandmother had some blue and white 'good' dishes, as well, so your card here has sparked some fond memories. Beautiful!!

What a lovely idea behind the card and the triple embossing really does make it look oriental. And I se no brown tinge! Greeting from Cyprus xx
Just catching up on some of your work I missed out on while away on holiday! This card really caught my attention. Old china, it was actually the first idea that popped to mind seeing your card. I think it's lovely!
It looks great and I did get the feel of old china!! Cool card!!
