OLYMPIC CHOPSTICKS AND SOME OLD LADY GOSSIP...

I made this for this week's Dare Challenge issued by Anne akak JDMommy. She wanted us to use the Olympics as an inspiration.. Boy, oh boy, was this hard. I don't have any sort of oriental type stamps with the exception of my embrace life set. So, I decided to use it along with the new in-colors to make this Oriental-themed card. I used the Japanese stab-binding technique to add the chopsticks.. I think tonight we will order some Chinese takeout and watch the opening ceremony.
