This card will, I hope, do for two challenges.
The first is Rainbow Lady's Challenge this week which is to use peel-offs as the main image on your card and not just for sentiments. I hardly ever use peel-offs myself but I happen to have a large stash of oriental ones which I bought an eternity ago and this was the ideal opportunity to use a few.
I stuck the main one,the kimono, on acetate which makes it suitable for the second challenge which is Arty Girlz Weekly Challenge #69.
The kimono was coloured in with Sakura Souffle pens for the decoration and a Copic Ciao for the main part. Backed with an oriental paper from an old Joanna Sheen pad it was then mounted with sticky pads on black gloss card on a red card base.
I managed to use up quite a few more peel-offs and the final flourish was a little chinese tassel which, I suppose,doesn't really go with a japanese kimono does it?
I think they go just fine Ali and the card is super. Thanks for playing Love Cynthia x
