Lunar New Year July

Hi there crafty friends, it's Tracey here with you today sharing my July card for the Lunar New Year Challenge. Check out this months sponsors below.  

I used products from Catherine Pooler for today's card. My background was created with Catherine Pooler's red rubber Fan Dance Background stamp. It was stamped with Catherine Pooler Pebble Dye Ink. I chose to trim the panel down to 4.25 " square so the orientation would work with the rest of my design.

The sentiment was stamped on to the front card panel. It's from the Catherine Pooler Lantern Festival Stamp Set.

The lanterns are also from Catherine Pooler's Lantern Festival. They were stamped in Catherine Pooler Inks--Fiesta Blue, Flirty Fuchsia and Lime Rickey. I stamped a few of the chains and pulls for the lanterns.

Everything was die cut with the coordinating Catherine Pooler Lantern Festival Dies.

The two outside lanterns were added to the card front with liquid glue and the centre lantern was added with foam squares.

I had forgotten that I wanted to splatter the panel before adding my sentiment, but still possible. I made a mask with a Post It note for the sentiment and then splattered gold Altenew Metallic watercolor over the panel and set it aside to dry.

Thank you for stopping in today and I hope that you have found something that inspires you
