Happy New Year!


Tomorrow is Lunar (Chinese) New Year and the beginning of the year of the Horse. I'm well prepared for this occasion, with a whole drawerful of horse stamps!

Red and gold are lucky colours in Chinese design. I embossed my Deadbeat Designs abstract horse and (awesome!) sentiment in gold on red mirror cardstock. I used an embossing buddy to ensure minimal stray embossing powder. I had to 'buff' the panel to get the extra embossing buddy-stuff off after, but I'm pretty happy with my first try at embossing on mirror card! I made the cardbase out of red mirror card.

    Wow - the 'force' was definitely with you on this cool card! I am so impressed with how well the mirror card stock embosses....did it warp at all? Good call with the silver paper too!

    Had to check out that embossed mirror card - cool! I think you can probably emboss just about anything if you are careful to not overheat. Truly awesome sentiment!
