Now if you arrived here from Mary's blog then your in the right place!
Today I am showcasing another country for you - you have seen my Canada Honey image from last months release and this months release I am about to show you the new JAPAN Honey image, I just love how Lindsay represented each country she really has outdone herself!  Here ismy card I made to show to you......

Here is apicture of the inside of the card.....
 SUPPLIES USED:
* 6.5x5 Card and Envelope
* Image:  Sassy Studio Designs, Japan Honey
* Copic Xpress Paper
* Copic Markers (colours used listed below)
* Patterned Paper:  First Edition Paper 6x6 Pad, New Leaf
* Black Cardstock: all from my scraps!
* Spellbinders Nestabilities: Labels 9
* Cuttlebug to cut out Spellbinders shapes
* Sentiment Stamps:from my local $ Store
* Ink:  Memento Tuxedo Black
* Glossy Accents
* 3D Pop Dots
* Scissors and CraftKnife
* ATG

**TIP:  If you use Spellbinders Nestabilities maybe you feel the same as me, I find the sizes are two far apart to double mat with so, what I did was cut out both my patterned paper and my cardstock the same size, then i embosed the patterned paper so that I have a line to cut around it with scissors so that I had enough space to show a mat behind the shape - let me know if this tip is helpful to you!

Here is a close up of the gorgeous image to show you the Copic colours used as wella the Spellbinder Nestabilities tip listed above.....

  6. This is beautiful!

    Your tip actually did help me. I was just thinking the other day that they were to far apart in size. I just got my BIGkick and only have one set of Spellbinders so I am learning. Thank you for the tip!!
