Choose a Country at Sweet Stampin' Challenge

We have a great challenge at Sweet Stampin' Challenge -  Choose a Country - (be inspired by the colours of the flag, the culture, the food.... the world is literally your oyster!)

I chose Japan for my country and was inspired by Cherry Blossom and Geishas

    
My Cherry Blossoms are Spellbinders Layered Cherry Blossom dies cut from some off-white card and using some Altenew inks (Dried Petals Fresh Dye ink set) to do a little ink blending in the centres.  I used some kraft card for the branches.  I used the same off white card to cut a panel and used Spellbinders Hemstitch Rectangles.  My little Geisha is an ancient (circa 2009) Hero Arts stamps - Four Dolls.  I used some of the Altenew pink inks to paint her and her matching fan, which I had fussy cut. The little sentiment is from a Catherine Pooler set - Birds of a Feather.  

Do come and join us at Sweet Stampin' Challenge.
