Happy New Year. Did you attend a party last night? I enjoyed a nice evening home. Today's card is a little more complex, so I took several photos to show you how it was made, and I hope it gives you inspiration to make a kimono card too. Each year Donnie & I invite several friends to join us at Tang's restaurant, during Chineese New Year. This year I am going to deliver their invitations in one of Tang's take-out boxes. Party favours will include celophane wrapped peanuts, to wish my friends a long life. Finally, each couple will receive a kimono card with New Year greetings. This is a fun way to continue holiday celebrations without all the work of hosting a party at home.
The first thing I did was to research kimono's on-line. My inspiration came from
this photo.
Next I printed the pattern for the kimono from Mirkwood Designs. For the template, click
here. After I scaled the pattern down by 10%, I cut out the pattern and then made a pattern out of cardstock, because I am making quite a few of these cards.
The pattern was traced out onto paper that I made. Watch for the tutorial this month.
Using a metalic gold Krylon pen, I ran the pen around the edges of the kimono to give it added visual appeal.
The card is now finished. The size of card I used is 5" x 6 1/2".
