Thank You Card for Sweet Cuz and More Japan Pix

I knew I wanted to make an Asian scene thank you card for my sweet cuz so this was pretty much a no-brainer.   Using one of the dies from the Stitched Basic E set by Die-namic and one of the pretty embossing folders she so generously gave me for my b/d, I created this card for her.   


Ingredients used for this card:
Ayako by Sister Stamps
"Woodland Branch," "Blooming Violet" dies by Memory Box
"Word Bubbles Framelits Dies" by Stampin' Up
Copics
Sentiment stamp by Mari & Me
Glittered Cherry Blossom laser cuts by and from Island Scrapbooking


Sharing more pix from our awesome Japan trip:

Korakuen incorporates the typical features of a Japanese landscape garden, including a large pond, streams, and walking path.  



Also, a crane aviary....



Beautiful pine trees.....


Another shot of the beautiful pond and landscape....so tranquil.


At the souvenir / snack shop, we enjoyed some azuki beans with mochi and tea.   


And their famous Peach Ice Cream cone.   Yummy.


This is a shot from one of our hotel room.....forgot which one.  We went to 5.


Thanks for stopping by and HAVE A SCRAP HAPPY DAY.
