Welcome back! Celebrating Chinese New Year
I am playing with: Festive Friday (#203) incorporating several of the required elements for a clean and simple shaped card for Krafty Chicks (#808) and Shopping Our Stash (#567).



Here is the result:

Steps:
- Card Base: (8½” x 5½” scored at 4¼”) Basic Black cardstock die-cut off the edge with the (3½” x 4⅞”) Stitched Ticket Corner die from the Branching Out Dies set, an On-Line Exclusive product.
- Card Front: (3¼” x 4½”) Poppy Parade cardstock die-cut with the (3” x 4¼”) Stitched Arch die from the Everyday Arches Dies set, also an On-Line Exclusive product.
- The String and Lantern images from the retired Color Me Happy stamp set were stamped with Versamark ink and heat-set with Gold Embossing Powder.
- Similarly, the Bamboo image from the retired Artistically Asian stamp set was stamped as was the sentiment, Much Luck & Good Fortune, from the retired Crane of Fortune stamp set.
The elegant gold stamped Arch was popped up with Dimensionals onto the Shaped Card Base, keeping the card clean and simple with lots of “red” space – Chinese style.

Thanks for spending some of your time with me today. Cheers, Jolanda!
