Your basic card kit, plus...
Blue, dark green, lime green, & white card

Step 1
Use the template to cut the kimono shape from blue card. Use double-sided tape to add a ribbon belt and cuffs.
Step 2
Top the ribbon belt and cuffs with strips of floral patterned paper and add three buttons to the collar. (If you don't fancy stitching the buttons in place, tie them with thread then secure with a glue dot!)
Step 3
Layer your card blank with panels of dark green and lime green card. Add the finished kimono using sticky foam pads.
Step 4
Now to layer up your flower embellishment! Take your green fabric flower and layer on smaller flower shapes cut from blue and green card. For the flower centre, cut a circle of white card and decorate with seed beads and a button.
Step 5
Stick the flower embellishment to the card front to complete your card!
