Eversince we gave up our 'baby' (cafe and restaurant--named Barang) so that I could indeed go have a real one and accomplish becoming a full-time mummy, I seem to still be hanging on to what's remained of my memory and concept of our nostalgic asian-inspired chinoserie themed restaurant, and I haven't seemed to have given up reminding friends and family that Barang shall remain an integral part of me, in much of how I've chosen to express myself through my arts and crafts.
Here's one such expression I've created lately, a 'chinese' birthday card I made for a good friend recently, accompanied by a very generic-looking brown parcel gift wrap with a simple string. All you need is brown paper, photocopied chinese letters or a photo you love, and some basic string and fancy paper in a chinese design. Don't need to stop at black and white, I've used colour copies of old sepia or faded colour photos before and they looked just as great.
As for the card, I used red card stock, fancy paper in a chinese theme, in this example it's the chinese character 'Fu' (prosperity), and a card stock with the wording 'happy birthday to you'. I've raised the letters to give added dimension, using padded double sided tape.
Then I tied a maroon string fastened by an antique-look round shaped brad.
