Congratulatory card for my cousin and his fiancee, whose wedding I will be unable to attend. :(
I found this beautiful Chinese-wedding-themed wrapping paper in Kinokuniya (cost a small fortune) and it made my life infinitely easy for this card - I selected a section of the paper, cut it out and centered it before splitting it in half. I like the double-door card for this because it feels like two halves becoming one.
As a note to the significance of the design I chose for the centre of the card - this is a Chinese character commonly used in Chinese weddings - it consists of two 'happiness' characters, side by side, hence the name 'double happiness', and represents the joy of a couple coming together in matrimony.
I used Chinese-knot buttons (used for cheongsams etc.) as a clasp to hold the card closed.
