Chinese New Year

I do laugh at myself sometimes!
I look at a swap and think to myself how easy it would be and then it turns out difficult ...... it also happens sometimes the other way.


I really enjoyed last year's swap so eagerly entered into this one.              Wrong!!!!!

First off I searched for the designs and sketched them out.

The rams heads I would tangle, doodle whatever, watercolour the standing goat and the other goat's head.  I sorted out my background papers and went to work.

With a red background on this card I drew out my lines on the head ..... and a few curves!


On the second head I added some leaves with the lines, and fussy cut it to attach onto the red background.



I used my Promarkers to colour in this image, not very well I must admit.  I think that the paper was not really thick enough to take these inks.  I drew the sign with a red pen to emphasise.


I used my lovely highlighters on this goats head!  I love how zany it is!  A chinese paper on the base of the card set off my zany goat!

I am not completely happy with these cards but I posted them off and hope they will be accepted.

Sad to say they arrived too late - well, not at all ... the snow in America swallowed them up.
