This is an AMUSE set which I just love. We lived in Japan for 2 years and adored the special cherry blossom viewing time in the spring. They were everywhere and so beautiful! That was over 10 years ago! We keep promising Jordan that we will return to his birthplace (Tateyama, Japan) and show him the hospital where he was born but well....now there are 5 of us and we just haven't fit it into our budget. I took a stab at this week's sketch at Card Positioning Systems. This was a fun sketch!!Recipe:
Stamps: Sushi Set (Amuse)
Paper: close to cocoa, very vanilla, coastal culture dp (Me & My Big Ideas)
Ink: groovy guava, close to cocoa, so saffron
Accessories: pewter hodgepodge, sherbet ribbon originals, stampin dimensionals, Walnut ribbon (Martha Stewart)
