One Cute Cookie!

I learned this fabulous kimono card design from Michelle, she's got a terrific video to show you how to make this super simple card (and how to add that adorable little face with the top-knot hairdo! (here I added a sateen flower and self-adhesive rhinestone I colored with Red Cadmium Copic) It was just right for my new fortune cookie image!

I used an Apricot Appeal base covered with a favorite DP print from the Basic Grey Ambrosia pack and added a strip of the Apricot and 1/4 " red grosgrain for the obi. Untie to reveal a little message from the "Have a Cookie" set, "You are one cute cookie!"
My fortune cookie (colored with Prismas) from "Have a Cookie!" is the perfect little embellishment to the corner when popped up on dimensionals, as you can see the little word "FOR YOU" fits on the fortune* peeping out. (Lots of other words in the set to customize your "fortune")

This was SUCH a fun card to make! :)



*I must say, I do not believe in fortune-telling, but the idea of a tiny message hidden in a sweet cookie is simply too magical to resist!
