Back to Oriental

Once again it is time to make my cousin’s birthday card.  Over the years, I have made her many things with an Oriental theme so each year it becomes a little more difficult to come up with something different.

This card was based on the symbol “double happiness” which I designed and cut using my craft robo.

I cut a circle from a red pearlised card blank.  The cut symbol was first put on tissue paper (and trimmed), then mounted onto the card, over the aperture.  Finished with a gold circle frame, here is the finished card.

To better show why I used tissue, I put a battery tea light inside and took a photo.
