Happy Chinese New Year!

I know and I am sorry, it is a wee bit late but it is still the year of the Rabbit
The card is based on the February Cardchain challenge from Deborah. She gave three options for the challenge which you can use partly or all three of them. This month it is
for the colours
for the sketch
and the themes are
St Patrick's Day or Friendship or Chinese New Year

For my card I chose Chinese New Year and if I am generous with myself I think I managed to stick sort of with the sketch and the colour, well, maybe very light seafoam (lol).
The card itself is A6 white cardstock. For the layering I used patterend papers (some leftovers I cannot define anymore which company they came from). The edge is punched with a Stampin' Up edge punch. Both images (rabbit and chinese sign) I downloaded from the web, the rabbit is a free clipart image.
When looking at images of the New Year celebrations, I realized that the rabbit was not only bright red but is also covered white patterns over his body which I tried to simulate by stamping some flowers and a spirale (Penny Black with Elzybells ink) and doing some doodling with white gel pen.
Have a great weekend, Petra.

Three options for making one card
a template
a set of given colours
and three themes to choose from: Friendship, Valentine's Day or Australia Day. It is possible to combine options or to use just one of the options. This is Deborah's brief for the January Card Chain Challenge. My card is a bit of a combination: a couple of colours, template and friendship as theme as it fitted all quite nicely together
Papers are from Desing House Digital, lace from Webster's and the image from Digital Two For Tuesday ... I have used the image before,I just love it. Hats and dresses are paper-pieced. Have a good start into the new week, Petra.
