Always Nice to Find a New Reason to Celebrate

Hello Nomad friends.  Last of the month and trying to sneak in under the wire at a few challenges.  I have been enjoying playing along at the Lunar New Year challenge, especially since I love dragons!  This year being Year of the Dragon, dragon birthday cards are one of the allowed themes.  I must admit, my dragon stash has grown!!  Ah well, like I said, I do love dragons.  Then this month there was an option to make cards for the Mid-Autumn Festival.  Totally new one on me, but always like a good celebration, and this one appears to involve the moon and rabbits, so yeah!! 

I found this starry paper which I had embossed with sizzix Rays embossing folder.  I used the moon stamp from Hero Arts Autumn Moon set, which possibly was made for the Mid-Autumn Festival with oriental elements and tiny little bunny silhouettes.   I stamped the standing bunny on some green card, fussy cut the top of the bunny and used a Stamplorations stitched hill die to cut the hill.  The bunny faded into the starry sky so I added a vellum fog bank to make him stand out.  We have had plenty fog here recently.  

Thanks for dropping by.  Hugz

As You Like It Challenge - Favourite Die it's simple, but this stitched hill die from Stamplorations is one of my favourite dies, used often to add pretty stitch details when I need a good hill.
