I absolutely LOVE these colors! Unfortunately, I do NOT think any Kimono wearing Asian would appreciate my taking the liberty of applying jewel tones to their..um...Kimono wardrobe? Ah H-E-Double Hockey Sticks, I don't know. So, I used Night of Navy ribbon on the obi and, thus, satisfied the color challenge. Just for fun, I only attached the Kimono to the card at the top so you can slide the obi off to reveal an additional message. My husband took one look at my 'secret message' and started laughing. When I asked him if he liked it, he said he believed the 'secret message' was more up my alley. I have no idea what he's talking about but now my self confidence is a little shaken. What does he know anyway??? Who cares what he thinks??? That's okay, though. He has to go to sleep sometime.

Love this! And I totally agree about the colors not really being en pointe! But they look lovely. Accchhh! Husbands! They can't even find their own shoes...what makes anyone think they know about art?

Beautiful and unique format of the kimono card. I don't know anything about kimonos to know which colors are used and which aren't. It looks lovely to me

I'm so sorry, all! The 'secret' is shown in the next picture! Just a little card with a cherry blossom metal sticker and the symbol for the word 'dream'. I should've done the ol' 1of 2 thing but forgot!! As to what my 'great hubby' *cough cough* was laughing about is what he considered the placement of said cherry blossom. Because he's a man and, as they say, God gave men a brain and something else that makes them different from us and only enough blood flow to use one at a time. Can I get an Amen?
