Sister Stamps Release #6 - Akemi

It's springtime with Akemi and her friends and aren't they the sweetest.  I'm here with Sister Stamps' 6th release and today's image was designed with co-owner, Jenny's daughter in mind.  You can read the story HERE.

I love Easter and couldn't resist creating a little basket to fit this most adorable image.  I wanted to add some texture to the basket so I snipped some crepe paper and adhered it to the inside.  I punched out two different layers of borders to create the grass and Akemi's kimono is paper-pieced with washi paper.

Here's a close up of the side of the basket.

Now a release wouldn't be complete without some candy so here's your chance to win.  Just follow this blog and post a comment on THIS POST.  Simple right?  Winners will be announced on March 1 so don't forget to come back to see if you've won.  This month's guest designer is none other than the super talented Donna Mikasa.  Welcome Donna!  Check out her blog as well as Sister Stamps' blog for more awesome inspiration!  The stamps from release #6 will be available on March 1.


Supplies:
Stamps: Sister Stamps Akemi, SU Easter Blossoms
Punches: EK Success Abstract Flower, MS Flower Patch Edger, MS Grass Edger, SU Boho Blossoms
