Monochrome Chinese New Year Card

Hello and Happy Chinese New Year for Sunday!  This festival gave me the inspiration for this week’s card, which features a beautiful Joanna Sheen Chinese Vase Stamp and Cherry Blossoms cut with my Cameo Silhouette. 

Card Recipe:

Stamp: Joanna Sheen

Colouring Mediums: Versafine Black Ink Pad, Promarker Pens

Paper & Card: Elegance Satin, Stardream Black, Trimcraft patterned paper
Tools: Spellbinders, Silhouette Cameo, Martha Stewart Punch Around the Page

Embellishments: black velvet ribbon 10mm, crystals, mulberry flowers, rhinestone button

To make this card, I stamped and heat-embossed the Joanna Sheen Chinese Vase using Versafine Archival Ink.  I cut one image out using a Spellbinders Nestie and the other I cut out by hand, cutting away the back of the top of the vase, so that when I decoupaged it, the blossom stems would “come out” of the vase with the correct perspective.

For my cherry blossom stems, my Silhouette Cameo did most of the work, but I did use a ball tool to shape the flowers before attaching the black, fine cut detail.  The Cameo also cut out the chrysanthemum decoration which you can see as a background accent across the card.

I didn’t have the right colour mulberry flowers so I used my Pro-marker pens to colour these black to co-ordinate!  Black velvet ribbon provided further texture to this card, and the rhinestone button adds elegance, I think!

The time you take to leave a comment is always very much appreciated and I do love to read them, so MTIA!
