Japan

Blue Ribbon #8      OTHER CATEGORY

“Other” is a category that allows you to do anything you like.  Asian themes are my favorites, because I seem to have very good luck in turning out something I really like with them . . .

The kimono was made from Washi strips added to cardstock and then die cut.  The metallic gold background was way too garish, so I toned it down by covering it with wispy Japanese rice paper.  This reduced the glare to a glimmer and pleased me very much . . .
