I really love the new clear stamp set Sushi, I have a love of Asian style

and this set is really fabulous and fun. I went with a plain background, just

using white since the kimono is so lovely.

For the Elzybells knight and princess I wanted it to look like they were on a stage,

maybe in the production of Camelot :)
