Katzelkraft - Chinese New Year

Hi everyone!

I'm back with a new Katzelkraft project. Today, with a Chinese touch.

Chinese astrology, also called "Shengxiao" is divided into cycles of twelve years. Each year is represented by an animal and an element. This year's animal is the water rabbit, an animal that is supposed to bring peace and harmony. 

Let's hope so!

I sponged the left part with Wild Honey, stenciled lanterns with Barn Door and stamped some more lanterns in black.

The Trinity 福 - Fú - Luck, 禄 - Lù - Prosperity, 寿 - Shòu - Longevity, I wrote by hand.

I stamped, watercolored and fussy cut the fun rabbit from the Dainius collection and added it. 

Scribbled some shadows under the rabbit and stamped/embossed a tiny Happy new year from SU.

Hope you like it. - See you next Tuesday with a new Katzelkraft inspiration! ;)
