Miscellaneous/Other / New Year

Anna this again is to your credit and talent a big thank you.

I printed this out 4 times in full size ( 7 and 1/2 ") 19 cm square on good quality matte photo paper the main topper. the 2nd I cut off the corner triangles and used D.s tape and backed each one with firm card and attached them to the topper with D.s tape. The 3rd is the largest octangle. I did the same and backed it and this time used D.s foam tape to attach it. The 4th I did exactly the same. I then used a fine nib gold gilt pen and ruler and edged each side of the gold on each of the octagons. I also coloured the gold part of the small circles in the corners and all the gold spots on the top octagon. I mounted the whole finished topper onto a large gold foil card sheet to use as the card (cut at 39 x19.5cm).

I accessed the internet for the information on the inside for all the cards I have made from your selection including a Royal Selangor limited edition painting Inspired by the Tang Dynasty done especially for this year of the horse, and some current year philosophy regarding the year of the horse 2014

Thank you it will soon be time to post them.
