Here's the Design Team: Lois, Pam, Pat G, Karen K, Kathy, Toni, Janine, Shirley Q, Gail, Marks Finest Papers, a Heinrich Co.
I don't know what is about Asian proverbs or sayings. They seem to be so grounded and peaceful. I wanted to use a sketch that would bring that same feeling of order and balance. I went with various sized rectangles and a couple of patterns. There are limited colors and little flecks of gold for elegance.
As I type, I am thinking that a quiet snowfall also brings about the same feeling for me. The weather forecast has just a touch of snow in our future and it is supposed to start in about half an hour. We'll see...meteorologists has such a cushy job!
Thanks for stopping by! You will want to head off to Janine's blog now.
Details - Stamps: Calm and Wisdom (MFP); Paper: Neenah Solar Crest White, JoAnn's dp; Ink: Tuxedo Black; Accessories: stampin' dimensionals.

Wonderful card- and you are so right! Funny too- when you go to China everyone is always in such a big hurry....even to get in and out of an elevator or the subway...loving your pretty layout!
Very pretty, I love the paper and the colors.
Really gorgeous! Love that you showcased the sentiment.
Very nice and elegant card. Our weather forecasters get a lot of grief when they get it wrong!
Lovely elegant card. Great focus on the sentiment.

A great saying and wonderful color blocked card.
I think you have made this proverb look right at home with the CAS approach.

Lovely card. I like how you pieced and arranged the rectangular shapes. This would look great framed and hung on the wall. Great sentiment.
