Wishing You A Happy (Lunar) New Year - Year of the Snake

 Happy Lunar New Year Peeps!

That's the theme for today's card. While it's not something that we've traditionally celebrate, we are heading to a little Lunar New Year party tomorrow night and I wanted to make a card for the hosts. Using a few stamp sets in my craft room, I was able to come up with something appropriate.

I've used Joanne's sketch for this week's Paper Players Challenge and I'm posting my card to the Lunar New Year Challenge Blog as well.

To make this card I started by stamping the lantern images around the card panel with black ink, then colored them with Copic Markers. After the coloring was completed, I used a blending brush to add a yellow glow to the background.  Per Joanne's sketch, I added the sentiment panel with the happy snake image and another lantern, but in gold.

I duplicated the snake image on the inside with a simple Let's Celebrate sentiment.

Enjoy your Wednesday!
