Year of the Rabbit


Today I'm sharing the card I made to send to a friend to celebrate the Lunar New Year.  I pulled out some very old Chiyogami paper and this BigZ die from Tim Holtz. Since the rabbit die is a steel ruled die, it could handle the weight of the Chiyogami paper attached to white card stock with double sided tape. Once cut, I added white lines with a paint pen then gave the rabbit a blast with shimmer spray.

There was a scrap of black paper in the package, so I added it with a pair of magnets to hold the card closed. The second magnet is under the slightly popped up oval.


When you open that black flap, the Happy New Year pops up ... because I added it to Karen Burniston's new Bam Box. 



The Happy New Year was cut from gold mirrored cardstock, and I added decorative panels to the Bam Box with red mirror cardstock. A few more gems, another die cut rabbit as a signing blog and my card was finished.


A couple of times recently, I was asked how many cards I make but I didn't have a clear number. Since a lot of my posts include more than a single card or project, I thought it would be fun to keep track this year.
