Inspiration for Chinese New Year: The Year of the Rooster

On January 28 the Chinese New Year takes place and

their years always have the name of an animal.

 This year will be the Year of the Rooster.

Here you find some more information about the

signifigance of the rooster and if you where born

in a year of the rooster and what it means for you.

This card looks complicated, but below I explain 

how to do it and you notice how easy it is.

I used:

The Year of  the Rooster stamp from Art Neko

Holiday Greetings also from Art Neko

Start with stamping the rooster with versamark ink at

random on the background panel. Emboss it with white

embossing powder.

Now color the paper with red and orange ink 

with a blending tool The white embossing powder

works as a resist.

Take the sentiment and stamp with black ink.

Finally add some drops of water. Heat set.

Stamp the center piece with the rooster in black ink and color

with pencil. To assemble the card wrap some red/white

twine around the background panel, add the rooster with foam tape.

The happy new year is stamped on a piece of white paper and cut 

into 3 pieces and looks like the rooster is shouting it.

For this card I used the same rooster stamp and here the

background is even more easy!

 I used a piece of matt silver paper for the back panel.

Stamping the rooster at random with black ink.

For the center piece I embossed the rooster in red.

On the silver background I added some silver holographic

sequins to add some bling to the card.

Thanks so much for looking

and have a creative day!
