HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

Happy New Year everyone!!

I hope 2015 is good to all and brings you nothing but blessings, goodness and happiness!!

I had a HUGE post intended for today,
but as usual it didn't happen...lol

So I decided to take a break from DT work and choose a challenge or two
to finish this week with!!

 A "new to me" challenge was brought to my attention called
"Cardabilities" using the sketch shown below!


How fun to be able to join in this week.
I also love the challenges at"The  Kraft Journal" and decided to use the
"cardabilities" sketch with "The Kraft Journal" challenge of
"Happy New Year".
The two worked together for me!!


I used "kraft" card stock for the base of my card,
then, I stamped a bit of ink splatters on my designer paper,
then using a few dies I went from there.
The little flowers you see, I hand rolled, they are teeny tiny, picky little things!!


I will be back tomorrow with another "chosen" challenge.
Speaking of challenges, there is a wonderful one going on over at 
why not check it out and join in!!

Fabulous! Love the 'wooden' background and the paper piercing is perfect! Great job on the 'spritz' too ... I got a little carried away on mine! LOL!
You are so good with those little flowers ... Uugh ... definitely NOT my strong suit! Well done my friend!

Cardabilities always has pretty sketches and samples. Now that you've discovered them I bet you'll be using more of them. They're perfect for all those pretty die cuts you use. Love the paper on this, and the ink splatters look like they belong there. Very nice, Diane! A happy new year to you, as well!
