Monday Madness... Imagine That!


Happy Chinese New Year!  For My Creative Time's "Monday Madness... Imagine That," Emma asked us to use our Imagines and create something with the colors red, white, and black.  How perfect for Chinese New Year!  I used the Silhouette Studio software to create my A2 sized card base by welding together a rectangle and the zig zag border that is one of the images that comes with the program.  On top of that I layered a piece of gold cardstock cut at 2 3/4" x 5 1/2" and a piece of 2 1/2" x 5 1/2" diamond patterned cardstock that I printed with my Cricut Imagine Black & White cartridge.


I definitely wanted to use a dragon for this card, since it is the year of the dragon.  This one is from the Silhouette Studio Online Store.  I cut it at 3.365" in both red and black cardstock.  I offset them a bit to give a shadow effect.  A little bit of gold Stickles made the dragon's eye.


For my sentiment, I heat embossed "Happy New Year" from My Creative Time's Small Talk stamp set with gold embossing powder.  I had to do a little masking, as the original sentiment had "Happy" above "New Year."

    Like your Chinese New Yr Dragon Card. I made a Dragon using Designer's Calendar and placed it on a Notebook I altered.
