Feeling Lucky

Hello again everyone!

Today's entry was sent in by Lyn Smith:


Lyn has created an oriental inspired good luck card, using a card from a Chinese deck of playing cards as her main image.

From Lyn:

"The deck features images from Chinese calendars from the 1920's and 1930's. I chose this one with the horse and jockey being led by a lovely Chinese lady...I thought she depicted Lady Luck!".


Lyn stamped a diamond background stamp (by Stamps Happen) onto Stampin' Up Creamy Caramel cardstock using Creamy Caramel ink. For the Good Luck greeting Lyn used Justrite Stamper Times New Roman font and Triomphe font stamps.

To keep the theme going, Lyn also added some teeny playing cards and 3 chinese good luck coins.

From Lyn:

"Feng Shui teaches that 3 coins tied together with auspicious red ribbon is a powerful symbol that brings prosperity and abundance. The act of giving good luck coins spreads happiness and good luck to those who receive them".

Fabulous work Lyn!

Enjoy your weekend everyone! Check back tomorrow for another new entry. :)
