Chinese New Year

Here is a large A5 card, using some stamps from Woodware, i have had a while now, but they follow the newyear theme well.

I firstly Brayered the background using a big and juicy ink pad and then using stazom i stamped the blossom branches,greeting and lantern. I stamped the geisha girls separately and gold embossed their fans and hair decoration,then i added them to the picture using glue gel. For the white on the blossoms and lantern i used a pentel fine marker pen im white. Finally adding some Auspicous red ribbin and coins for good luck.
