Simple Layout for an Elegant Look

It was easy to make this card look elegant with Michael Strong's new kimono design!

1. Ink up kimono image with gold ink pad, stamp on black card stock, sprinkle with embossing powder and heat set. 
2. Cut out the  image.
3. Cut square layer out of white card stock.
4. Ink up mini bamboo image with gold ink pad, stamp on the square layer. Repeat several times to create a random background.
5. Repeat for the black layer.
6. Adhere layers. Adhere kimono image.
7. Use Crystal Effects to adhere dew drops.
8. Stamp ink bamboo image on the inside for a nice little surprise

Looks like Michael Strong made this himself. I remember when he used to come on Carol Duvall.
