It's Friday ... it's NEW YEARS EVE

Morning readers, 

I'd like to wish all my followers and readers a very Happy (and healthy) New Year, may we all see many improvements on the last 20 months - stay safe all


I'm not in the habit of making New Year Resolutions but, if I did .... it would probably be to eat and drink less and to move more, and to BE KIND - what about you?

We did get together with family between Christmas and New Year, all fully jabbed, dressed warmly and with the windows open, can't wait to get back to "normal", can you?



Yes, some of us needed a blanket with those open windows!


I, of course, was dressed for the occasion ...

I've a make to share with you today ....... a masculine birthday card ... as the New Year is about to begin, I just KNOW I'm going to need a few of those! This design kind of evolved but I can see it being a female birthday just as easily, by changing the colour, or even just a general celebratory card - can't you?

My C6 card

Materials used:
  • White, 250gsm, C6/A2 card and matching envelope
  • White and navy card, cut to fit and mat
  • Using a makeup brush and Memento Paris dusk ink I randomly applied colour in a strip across the middle of my card panel
  • Hero Arts harlequin star image (E3654) stamped using Versafine Clair twilight ink
  • Uniko sentiment (from Art Decoratif Anniversaire) stamped using Versafine Clair paradise ink
  • Placing my Tim Holtz mini stencil (from set #38) over my image panel and using a makeup brush I applied Memento Paris dusk ink through my stencil

I'll be entering the above make for the following challenges:-
  1. Water Cooler Wednesday - challenge No. 331 - ANYTHING GOES
  2. Paper Funday - December challenge - ANYTHING GOES + (optional) HOLIDAYS
