Chinese New Year is being celebrated today. 2018 is the year of the dog. It definitely feels like the year of the dog (s) at my house with our three big furbabies part of everything we do. So,I decided to make a card to celebrate Chinese New Year.
As I was doing research on Chinese New Year, I noticed how important red and gold are to this celebration. I used Real Red for the card base and one of the strips on the card front. Gold can be found in the Eastern Medallian thinlit, vinyl stickers and toussled gold thread.
The red and white were both part of the Paper Players color challenge this week. So, I made the dog paw out of crumbcake using three hearts --one for the large pad and the other two cut in half and trimmed to make toes.

DeleteThanks so much for playing along at the Watercooler Wednesday "All About Occasions" challenge this week Angie and sharing your Chinese New Year card. Great job matching up all the challenges and coming up with this special card celebrating the year of the dog. Love the paw. We were just in Vegas and they had tons of decorations celebrating the occasion and many statues of dogs.
ReplyDeleteI didn't get to see many decorations celebrating Chinese New Year here. I'd love to see pics of your experience.
