Cheers

Cheers - Happy, happy New Year!!! Todays challenge at One Stop Craft Challenge is.....New Beginnings. My new beginning is the new year.

My designer paper is from ATD, All through the year.

We are sponsored by Stamp Fairy and I used their Lenny 5. I love his champagne and sweet little tie. I printed this image out 3 times, twice small and once larger and colored him with Copics. I then cut using SB, then added some Diamond Glaze on the champagne goblet.

My punch is MS. I punched it twice and overlay-ed them.

My Sentiment is Hot off the Press and punched with SU punches.

The pearls were made with my Viva Decor pearl pen.

Come and show us whats new with you!

So Koi

 So Koi - At Creative Card Crew we are challenging every to create a card/project with the theme of Chinese New Year.

 

I for one, am very excited about this challenge. Having lived in Japan and South Korea, it was always such a big deal to my friends of the host nation, so it is something that I though would be fun to focus a challenge on something that those of us who live in the West might not think about.

 

My image is Koi Grouping, with the cordinating Water Lillies Grouping stamp, by Mostly Animals. It has been a while since I have done old fashion stamping and masking, with so many beautiful digi's out there, I just don't do it very often.

 

I stamped using Memento black ink and colored the images with Copics. I added some fine glitter on the water to give it so sparkle. I am a little disappointed with the way it photographed. The lights have faded the colors.

 



My papers are DCVW Far East pad. The center circle actually has a dragon on it, but the image covers most of it. The circle was cut with SB Grand Decorative Circles One. You can get a lot of SB Grands from our sponsor Scrapping Center.
