This card was created with the traditional Chinese lucky colors of red and gold. In the center of the round central medallion is Double Happiness, the symbol of joy and unity common in every Chinese wedding. It is surrounded by cherry blossoms and a delicate geometric scroll. All elements of the medallion were designed in a graphics program and cut with a laser cutter. The rays to the left are cut from red/gold origami paper and glued to gold card stock. The geometric corner designs are gold stickers.

Thank you for your compliment. I really enjoyed making the card but I must admit it was somewhat challenging. After doing some online research on authentic Chinese symbols, I designed the central medallion in a graphics program and cut it with an electronic cutter. The red was carefully layered onto the gold to make sure the elements were aligned properly. The rest of the card is relatively simple compared to the medallion but it was worth the extra effort. Thanks again.
