Handmade Chinese New Year Card #1

Hello everyone! This is our first Chinese new year in Singapore, it's fun to learn learn about new cultures, I enjoyed making Chinese New Year cards for my local Singaporean friends and my daughter's teachers. Sharing one card of those cards today.

I would have loved to splurge on a new stamp set for the occasion but sadly none of the stores were stocking anything I wanted. It turned out to be a blessing in disguise, I was forced to dig up my stamp stash to find an old Inkadinkado stamp set called "Asian by Design".
For my card I stamped the blossoms is various shades of pink Altenew crisp inks. I overlapped the blooms to create the illusion of depth.
