2017 Fall Coffee Lovers' Bloghop project 6

Fall officially start in a couple days.  And I thinking about the holidays and festival in Fall, like Halloween, Thanksgiving, Remembrance Day; but my coffee hop project today is inspired by an Asian festival - Mid Autumn Festival.  When I was young, my parents and my siblings used to celebrate.  On the evening of the 15th day of the Eighth month on the Lunar calendar, we'd gathering around after dinner sharing moon cakes, tea, fruits and sweets; and to take in the sight of a bright full moon (weather permitting of course).  And we decorate with lanterns and Chrysanthemum. 

To make my over size card, on watercolor paper I created the evening sky with a full moon using water colors.  Next I stamped the bamboo images.  The lanterns are cut out from pattern paper.  Cake stand and tea cups are die cut with pattern paper and distressed.  Moon cakes and golden acorns are stamped, colored, and hand cut, and adhered with foam adhesive. 

Now a little fun fact, the "table" is actually die cut using my Hero Arts Nesting Tea Cup Infinity dies,  Oh yes, I am still having plenty fun using them.  After I die cut the cup, I cut off the handle to use as "table".  For the "table cloth", I masked it with a doily and ink it.
