MAMA ELEPHANT NOVEMBER STAMPEDE


Welcome to the Mama Elephant Design Team blog hop!
Our newest release is now live and available for purchase in the store!
www.mamaelephant.com

 Today I'm sharing Chinese New Year Card created with the brand new Lunar Sayings and Sakura Lanterns Creative Cuts. The Chinese New Year of 2020 falls on January 25th.  2020 is a Year of the Rat according to the Chinese zodiac, so the Zodiac Mouse is perfect for the Chinese New Year 2020.



I started by stamping the images from Zodiac Mouse on Canson® XL® Bristol paper with Memento Black Ink, colored with Copics Marker and cut them out with Zodiac Mouse - Creative Cuts. Other images that I used are a tiny lucky envelope from Zodiac Ox, a tangerine fruit from Lunar Extras, the hat from Lunar Animals and the fan from Lion Dance set.



Next, I cut out the sakura frame from Sakura Lantern on watercolor paper. I colored the blossom and the branches with Tombow Dual Marker and inked blending the frame with Distress ink pads with the same colors with my based card. I  also stamped the cherry blossom images from Lunar Extras on the lantern and colored with Tombow Dual markers. 


The character 福 (Fú) was cut out on watercolor paper that I paint with Kuretake Gansai Tambi Starry Colors - Gold paint and placed on my card as a symbol of "good luck" or "good fortune" in the Chinese New Year.  I finished my card by heat embossing the 恭喜發財 (Kung Hei Fat Choi) with rose gold embossing powder.



I created the Hóngbāo (Red Envelope) with the new Fortune Envelope - Creative Cuts.  As you can see, I just simply heat embossed the word from Lunar Sayings and the  Zodiac Mouse on the envelope with rose gold embossing powder, I love the finished look! 😍


Thank you for visiting today, I hope you enjoy my project ♥ Check out the rest of the hop for amazing inspiration from our Design Team!
