Kimono Marci with Umbrella

This is a A2 card using the Kimono Marci with Umbrella stamp from La-la Land Crafts found here. Cherry Blossom Branch die from La-la Land Crafts found here.  Note the cherry Blossom was cut a bunch of times to create the background of the A2 card. Purple Passion Paper Pack card stock from Recollections. Washi paper used for her dress is from Hanko Designs 2013 Fall Release #RTD7144 found here to order on line. The Gold card stock is from my stash. 

Copic colors:
Face, hands: R20. E11, E00, E000
Hair: W2, W4, W6, W8
Umbrella: E30. E34, BV000, BV01
Hair accessory: Gold Smooch, BV000, BV01

The comb in her hair is created with Copic colors using the "flicking" method - add some Gold Smooch to finish the effect.

 The umbrella is also using the "flicking" method to create the sunburst effect:

Ovals for the stamped message were made using my Silhouette Cutting machine. There is a basic oval which can be customized to any size. I did look through my dies as well as punches and couldn't find anything that would fit the stamped message as well as provide a contrast shadow.  Sigh..............thank goodness I did have my Silhouette.
