DCM - Russian


It's Rein here this week and as our Russian girl Irina is here staying with us again my dare is put a matryoshka or another typical Russian element like dress, architecture, or... ..... on your card.


We visited Russia in 2006 and my card is inspired by the onion domes of St Basil's in Red Square. The Russian script says Happy Birthday and I couldn't resist 'From Russia with love' lol

  1. This is lovely - the colours and the sheen of the papers are really evocative of the onion domes - great idea Janice

  3. I agree with Kathy, the metallic-like paper used for the domes are perfect with the script background.

  4. Did you get your official translator on the job for the background paper? We only have your word for it that it says Happy Birthday - it could be a secret coded message with a plot to take over the world's stash, lol! Love your onion domes, the holographic card looks fab on them!
