WCMD PTI Challenge #1-Japan

Today is World Card Making Day. I would love to sit all day and make cards, but alas, I cannot. Actually, I am watching this, which I also love, because it is two days of amazing speeches and spiritual renewal. In a few days, these speeches will be available to read or watch online (and I will edit with the link). So in the 2-hour interim, I'm doing a little card making...Nothing like multitasking, right?
So Nichole, of Papertrey Ink fame has issued a few challenges today, and the first is that we incorporate influences from Japan in our card. I have chosen to use Washi paper that my friend sent me when she was living there. She knew how much I loved card making, and she saw these beautiful papers and sent them to me. They are amazingly colorful, shimmery and unique. Here are just a few:
Paper: PTI Berry Sorbet, Washi paper
Ink: Versamark
Stamps: PTI Friends 'Til the End
Other: PTI New Leaf satin ribbon, SU Gold Glory embossing powder
