Happy New Year everyone, wherever you are in the world!!
If you are reading this at 8am UK time, well done, you clearly had an early night...like me!! For the rest of you "stop outs" I hope you had a really good night!!
Anyway as the title says New Year, New Challenge and that is what I am here to share today, my first DT piece for 2015
and it's all about your favourite shape or card fold and don't forget to tell us WHY?
My favourite alternative card shape is the stepper card and although I usually make my own I came across a larger ready made one in my stash that suited the scene I had in my head using our sponsor's image. I coloured her with Promarkers and stuck her on a SB die cut mat. I used a cloud embossing folder smeared with a tumbled glass ink pad before running through the GC and was mighty chuffed with the result, I'll be doing that again!! Fence by Marianne dies and the tags (which I didn't mean to cover up!!) from LOTV.
Some challenges to join in

While I am here I would like to wish you all a healthy and happy 2015.
Happy new year Sarah! Yup, I'm always in bed early, and sober for that matter... However, I don't expect to see hubby for a good chunk of the day, and when he surfaces, I don't expect him to be of much use either, lol.
ReplyDeleteLOVE your card, and the embossing is perfect! Not tried that technique yet, but definitely will! x
HAPPY NEW YEAR to you and yours Sarah,
ReplyDeleteHope 2015 brings you everything you wish for
Love your sweet card, great image and design
Have a great day
