My second card for the November Lunar New Year Challenge features products from RAM Stamps and Spellbinders. The four main products featured here are the ‘Year of the Dragon – Metal’ Digital Stamp, ‘Year of the Dragon’ Digital Pattern Paper Pack, Always You Timeless Sentiments BetterPress Press Plates and Underwater Tunnel Etched Dies.
The ‘Year of the Dragon – Metal’ Digital Stamp comes with both outline and no-line versions, plus a few sentiments. I printed the dragon and bird image in two sizes on Neenah 80lb cardstock before deciding on a two-inch high version. I also printed out three patterns from the ‘Year of the Dragon’ Digital Pattern Paper Pack only using two of them in the end.
Before colouring the image with Copic markers, I selected a birthday sentiment from the Always You Timeless Sentiments BetterPress Press Plates, positioned it with Best Ever Craft Tape and heat foiled it with Matte Gold Hot Foil.
After printing the dark waves and dragon prints from the ‘Year of the Dragon’ Digital Pattern Paper Pack, I cut the Underwater Tunnel Etched Dies and Precision Layering A2 A Etched Dies together to create the overlay panels. After playing around with the position over the coloured image, I decided to cut an extra second layer from Matte Gold Foil Paper to highlight the foiled sentiment. I assembled all the layers with liquid glue to keep it flat and easy to mail.
The rules are simple. You must create a new Lunar New Year, Chinese New Year or a 2024 Dragon Birthday card and add the link to your post in the link-up party.

Absolutely adorable card! I love how you used the tunnel dies, especially with that gold layer peaking out.
