I love collage and fiddling! So when I saw the color challenge included real red, I just knew it was time to pull out my kimono stamp from Tin Can Mail. I stamped in Versamark and embossed with super fine gold. I matted it with a shadow of apricot appeal which I stamped CHF's rice paper backgrounder in dried marigold...I also stamped my Asian beauty on aa this time with Red Pepper Adirondack ink. She is cut and propped into the kimono. The Soul Painting stamp(Limited Edition) is embossed with Sahara Pearls. The fabulous poppies, Icelandic that ballet blue, are stamped on MME paper with Walnut Stain and embossed in clear. The large poppy is from a Hero Arts collage stamp and the other one, SU Botanticals. The tori gate in the bg and the small initial along with the Asian Beauty is part of an awsome Stamp in the Hand collection. My cardstock is Basic Grey Vagabond "Aged & Confused" collection. Thanks for looking and always your delightful comments!
