Oriental Sketch Challenge #59 on MFPSpeedyTV

This is the last Oriental Sketch Challenge for 2014 - the team is taking the month of December off so this week's Oriental Sketch Challenge #59 uses this sketch:

 

Here is my card:

 

For my card this week I used stamps from the Dragonflies set and the sentiment is from the Lotus Blossoms set all from Mark's Finest Papers, a Heinrich Co.  All images were stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and I used the Wink of Stella Brush in clear on the dragonflies.  The background was embossed with the Spellbinders Asian embossing folder and a piece of  Birdsong designer paper  was added.  The circles and square are cut from Spellbinders dies.

I hope you'll play along with us this week you could win a free stamp set!  You will find the challenge HERE.

I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving.  Wishing  you a wonderful weekend and thank you for stopping by.

Hugs & Blessings,
