Alpha Challenge - k

The letter K is the latest Craft Barn Alpha Challlenge.
For my page I chose the word KIMONO.


I started by painting the page with Fresco Finish paints, then I stamped the bamboo around the edges. I also stamped some small dragonflies with gold Brilliance ink.
I stamped the kimonos onto white card and paterned paper. I coloured parts of the kimonos with Promarkers and cut out parts of the patterned kimonos and paper pieced them to the kimonos on the card, then I cut these out and adhered them to the page.

Stamps I used
Crafters Companion - kimono.
Hero Arts - dragonflies.
PSX - bamboo.
Penny Black - The word kimono.
Unknown foam stamp for the letter K


A close up of the word Kimono.

  3. The kimonos are delicious, and the background is just beautiful - I love the chalky blue with the text peeking through, and those delicate willowy fronds!
