A bit of Cherry Blossom

I think I may have to list Oriental in the things I don't do along with distressing and mens card.When I saw the Oriental challenge on Simon Says Challenge I could not think of what to do, I knew I would use BG papers some of their papers always look a bit oriental and I've a whole family of these little dolls from Simon Says Stamps.
The cherry blossom stamp I think is Stampendous and I think that could be a new cuttlebug folder, I stamped the image first before running it through the bug and as I was 3d the flowers the bumps in the image didn't matter. Added some tiny pearls, a bit of ribbon and all layered with gold paper, maybe it doesn't look that bad after all.
Look another fab award this time from Nanaseaside aka Christine
