'HAPPY NEW YEAR' My crafty friends.
Hope you all had a fabulous Christmas/New Year break
and ready to get creative once more.

 I am Hosting the first Challenge for 2017 over at

Just Us Girls and it is our 'Word Week'

For this I chose 'NEW'  which can mean so many different things!

New beginnings, new house, new baby,
 new craft products (I am sure we all have them)

or go with a new technique. Your choice!

I went with the 'new products' I received recently.

A Big Welcome to our first Guest for 2017
Shawna Standish from The Grand Stampede

 

 

My card is fairly cas choosing a 'recently new'
stencil and sentiment stamps.
The stencil is ARTplorations Happy Flowers
and sentiments STAMPlorations Floral Bliss
Card base is Tangarine cs
My focal point has been cut with a stitched die
from white cs. I inked my stencil image with
Tim Holtz Mowed Lawn and
SU Calypso Coral and touches of Iridescent Medium.
I sponged the background of the flowers with
a wet baby wipe dipped in left over Calypso Coral.
Finished with some pearls to match.

My First Posting as Guest for the CAS Challenge over at STAMPlorations.

 

I am over the moon excited to be posting here as a

Guest Designer for the CAS Challenge over at STAMPlorations.

 

 

 

 

 Pop over to our Blog for Details Here.

 

I started my card with basic grey card stock.

For my focal point I cut white card stock with a

stitched die. Then the fun part started.

The background has been stamped randomly with

stamps from Scribbly Splattery Grunge - I so love this stamp set

as you can do so much with it.

I then stamped the French Marigold on white c/s 

with Zing Charcoal  embossing powder colouring it with

metallic watercolour paints in various colours

and fussy cut.

(you can see the shimmer on my card)

I popped it for dimension and finished off with

my sentiment from Noteworthy.

 

Here are the STAMPlorations stamps I used on my card.
