On Our Travels With Darcy's Postcard Challenge - Japan

I love Japanese flower arranging and the paintings that depict the wonderful blossom and flower blooms so that is my theme  for my postcard. I stamped the blossom with Versamark and applied pan pastels, then over stamped with my flower arrangement. These stamps are from Habico and Debbie Moore. The book page is cut from a 12 by 12 scrapbook paper and the pocket is another stamp
of Koi carp from Chocolate Baroque. I used the same technique using pan pastels to create the scene.
Looking forward to seeing what my fellow travelers come up with this week, such a talented bunch. Catch them here.
