Our oldest son lives in Japan. He recently visited a famous stamp shop in the city of Kyoto that is well-known for it's creative stamps. The man in the stamp is Fukuzawa Yukichi, a samurai, professor and founder of Keio University (Japanese Ivy League) whose face is on the 10,000-yen bill. He is "recommending" whatever you stamp him on. The woman is laughing gently with a hand to her mouth, as was considered proper and lady-like. It says, "ho-h0-h0." I love foreign humor. I made up my own American-style captions for the two together and sent our son this thank-you card. I used Summer Sun, Very Vanilla and Basic Black cardstock with some Pink Flamingo DSP.

Patti, this is way cool! The paper really compliments the stamps. You always have such creative cards!
I'm a fan of Asian influenced art. The stamps have so much detail . . . very cool. Hugs, Mary
I love that you step out of the box for your cards!
