Asian Themed Thank You Card

I was commissioned to make a special "Thank You Card" for a friend for her Asian American boss. She also wanted her boss's favorite quote on the inside.  It took me a week to come up with this design.  Lots of heat embossing and foiling.

I used a stamp set that I've had for a long time. It's called  "Alvin - Asian Themed Stamp Set". I used the cherry blossom background stamp on burgundy watercolor paper, then heat embossed it with metallic gold embossing powder.   I printed the "Thank You" with my laser printer and used my Minc machine to gold foil it.
