forever friends oriental


I came accross this forever friends challenge blog today and had an overwhelming urge to take part.BUT... I only own one forever friends stamp, so it was a challenge...could I make it fit the theme?

and the theme was?

Oriental.

hmmmm okay, maybe if you really use your imagination, those flowers could be cherry blossoms, go on.... work with me here.

Any way, I hope this is okay, please don't boo me off stage (sorry too much Guitar hero, I think)

    It was a big challenge to stamp an oriental map with bears. you have moved it splendidly. I love the colour pink. Your card is absolutly oriental.

    Ooh, I love Forever Friends! I think yours works perfectly .... some of the ones posted on the site you linked to had the same stamp, so it must be ok!

    Plus, yours looks everso pretty!

    :)
