Great challenge for the Tea party this week, Sabrina - Bridging the Years and this is the time of the month where we get to tickle each other. I found this beautiful scene set in a Japanese garden online. Paired with gold and some Japanese paper I have had for years.
TFL!

Oh, beautiful...and wonderfully framed with the gold and the sakura paper. There is a famous garden where I used to work, which includes a tiny little Japanese garden section. I remember taking an EU commissioner from France on a guided tour along with the tourism manager...the commissioner was rather baffled by the inappropriate inclusion of some cordyline palms!! We also have a much more authentic Japanese garden beside the National Stud, and this also reminds me of the bamboo park we visited in France. But with that amazing dense mossy-green grass I am sure this is a real Japanese bridge in Japan.

Gorgeous, peaceful scene..love the red bridge and the blossoms on the trees. Great Asian paper for the bg and terrific gold stickers on either side. Cool card.

Beautiful picture - perfectly matched with that design paper - I have it too - but its too precious for me to try and cut into (he he). Nothing more gorgeous than a Japanese garden with a little red bridge.

My goodness Sue, what a gorgeous Japanese garden this is! All the layers of gold with this stunning Japanese DSP make for one incredible card indeed. I wish I was walking over this bridge right now! ~Karen.
