Happy Chinese New Year!

Blazing gold and red aren't they? Hehe. I made this card for Dr Ng, my head department. This is my first attempt at Chinese New Year card and boy, was it hard to find the right theme. I want it to be modern yet oriental and was so glad to come across this symbol. It means 'money' according to my colleague=p I used gold paper for the pattern and wordings. It took hard work and calculation to make the symbol symmetrical. The pattern was then pasted on top of red foam to make it look elevated and stand out. Love it!=)


Inside I inserted beige paper and decided to inscribe prosperous wish on double layered paper. Simply hand written with black ink pen.

This is the blazing red card in it's transparent handmade envelope!=p

Ooh..and I finally made my own sticker with my blog address to paste it behind my handmade cards! Wee~ =)
