I made this card for my son and his family who currently live in China (they are well). I received five Chinese greeting rubber stamps as a gift and thought I would use them to make my thank you card to them. I was fortunate to have my daughter in law provide the meanings for the little round greetings. They are all wonderful such as long life, double happiness, etc. I decided to stamp them all in a random fashion on red cardstock, embossed them in gold embossing powder and then I watercoloured it to give the panel more texture and depth. Once it was dry I mounted it to a gold card. I stamped the thank you greeting (SU) and gold embossed it. Mounted it to a special red paper and added a deep yellow silk flower to the left hand side using a tiny gold brad with a sequin. I added a short piece of gold ribbon to the left of my card front and mounted the layered greeting over it. Very happy with it!! Next time I use the little stamps with a round circle punch!! Therese
