Happy Mid-Autumn Festival Thank You Card (Sample)

Mid-Autumn Festival Thank You card - Front
This is another Mid-Autumn Festival card I created. I used the sentiment of "Thank You" instead of festival greeting as I would like to thank the recipient for his kind gesture of my work appraisal.


It is a very simple card whereby light blue card stock is used. Two (2) small hills are created using green card stock on top of the light blue card.

Close-up : Asian girl
The Asian girl in Hero Arts CL308 Arigato is stamped on a white card stock. Her face is colored and dissolved using Johnson & Johnson Baby Oil inspired by Heaney from PaperPapier. The result is amazing! The dress is colored using markers. In the middle of the pattern flower on the doll, some shimmering ink is added to make the doll outstanding.

Close-up : Lantern
Lantern from Hero Arts CL308 Arigato is stamped on the green hill. Then, trimmed blue lantern is attached onto the stamped lantern using pop dots. Shimmering ink is added to the flower of the lantern to make it like lit with candle inside.

Close-up : Altered toothpick
A trimmed end toothpick is attached to the Asian doll dress, aligning to hand position. Another end of the toothpick is align to the top of the lantern loop. Effect is added to the tooth and lantern by stitching a black thread to the lantern loop and toothpick which make it like hanging.

Close-up : Altered moon
The sun from Hero Arts CL439 Kiss from the Sun is used as the moon by omitting (trim off) the sun rays. It is attached to the left upper corner of the card.

Close-up : 'Thank You' message
On the right upper corner of the card, 'Thank You' bubble from Hero Arts CL394 Message Bubbles is stamped. The little hearts are colored in red.

Close-up : Randomly scattered gems
Some gems are randomly attached to the hills to make the effect of stars reflection. The whole card is then attached to a yellow folded card.

Theme : Mid-Autumn Festival and Lantern
Title : Thank You
Size : 10.8cm x 13.97cm or 4.25" x 5.5"
