Happy Lunar New Year - February

Hi there crafty friends, it's Tracey here with you today sharing my February card for the Lunar New Year Challenge. Since we are right on the heels of the 2025 Lunar New Year this New Year's card is a Lunar New Year card. This is the year of the snake and I added a very cute Lawn Fawn snake from Critters in the Desert!

I started off with a piece of light blue cardstock. When I'm ink blending a night background I find it easier to start with a panel of lighter blue and ink blend over the top of it. For my background I used Tumbled Glass, Prize Ribbon, Chipped Sapphire and Black Soot Distress Oxide Inks. Once it was dry I splattered Altenew Gold Metallic Ink over the panel to create a sparkley sky.

I foiled the Lawn Fawn Foiled Sentiments: Happy New Year on the Concord & 9th Poppy cardsock and then cut it out with a circle die. I added it to the card front with foam tape. I used some older number dies I have to create the 2025 using gold mirror cardstock.

I stamped the cute little snake from Lawn Fawn's Critters in the Desert and then used the Lawn Fawn Critters in the Desert Coloring Stencils to add color to the snake and then used a Copic Marker to add some spots on the snake. The snake was also added tothe card front with foam tape overlapping the edge of the circle.
