祝福大家在新的一年裡平安~喜樂~
Happy Chinese Lunar New Year~ It is just around the corner. Say goodbye to the year of the horse and welcome the year of the Ram. I have created a card to celebrate the new year. It might not have any animal in this card but it includes my wishes to all my friends and families. I wish everyone
a joyful, healthy, prosperous and happiest new year ahead! ^^

I guess beside wishes, I will share with you some of the steps on this creation.
Everyone loves bling bling stuff. Especially during New Year celebration, we decorate everything bright and sparkle. I think Perfect pearl from Ranger can take on this job. Stamping Versamark ink on the black cardstock and using small brush to pick up some, not too much, a tiny dab of powder goes a long way, gently brush it on the section you want the color to be. I choose rainbow in this case. Can't go wrong with it. ^^

Here is the close up. I wish you can see how shiny it is. Love the result.

I also decide to include a flower. Peony is very popular in Chinese painting. It is the traditional floral symbol of China, the state flower of Indiana, and the 12th wedding anniversary flower,  with their lush, full, rounded bloom, peonies embody romance and prosperity and are regarded as an omen of good fortune and a happy marriage. I did a wet embossing with gold embossing powder. Then apply another bling bling goodie-Twinkling H2O watercolor. It is so hard to show the shimmer on the picture, wish you can see it too.

The rest is assembling. At the last minuet, I remember an embossed folder from Anna Griffin that I bought last year, the pattern somehow similar to Chinese motif. I decide to dry embossing it as my red background. Even though it is in Anna Griffin's Christmas collection, it actually match the scene very well. How funny isn't it?
