ATCs for All - Chinese New Year

My daughter brought home a magazine from a restaurant 'just in case I could use it' - well, had to didn't I?  lol

I cut some of the pages out of the magazine and attached them to three cards.  I had already printed out the main focal point and after some fussy cutting attached them on top of the background.  I 'googled' the character of the Year of the Horse, cut them square and edged with red ink.  

I added some green backing paper to fill in the blanks and also to back the fourth card, which would be my Hostess card.  

I placed two pieces of magazine paper on this card, a different 'horse' and then some gold mesh strips to the top right hand corner.  I outlined all the horses in matching colours including the hostess card. 

I received the following cards for my swap:- 

 

 Love the way the coin is added to the card.
Thank you JenUrebel.
