Happiness Card

I’m back again with another Asian creation. I love how this card turned out. Especially with a few extra touches from my Painty Twin Gold pen. You don’t have to be an professional artist to use these fine pens and markers. You can use them on your everyday crafting. They can really add some oomph to an already great project.

I used the Graphic 45 Bird Song collection for this card. It comes with a beautiful gold on black paper. I wanted this to be the base of my card. The gold is a little faded, so I decided to get out my Painty and draw over the designs. It made them really pop off the page. My paper looks handmade now. I love, love this effect. Best part is I didn’t have to have any artistic talent.

I did the same with the silver side of the pen on the print. I love the added interest here and there. This card reminds me of those vintage wooden scroll calendars with gold/silver accents my uncle used to send us from overseas every year. I just may keep this card for myself to display in my living room.

The sentiment was written with the ZIG Memory Writer and I highlighted the “h” in gold. Pop your layers together with some glue dots, add a bow, and you have yourself a beautiful card with Asian flair.
