New Mixed Media Card Challenge...


Welcome to the New Year, and the new Mixed Media Card Challenge theme for January... NEW, with optional element of Tissue.


What new will inspire you? New year, new baby, new house, 
new pet, new job, new marriage???

I decided to tackle my fear of purple head on with this months first card LOL! Created by using Distress Inks Dusty Concord and Shaded Liliac, splattered with water, then dried and stamped with the Sweet Stamp Shop fireworks in Momento Luxe White and Zing White embossing powder. The Winnie and Walter The Big, the Bold and the Happy sentiment was diecut then inked with Distress Ink Dusty Concord, to match the sky. The Altenew Sketchy Cities New York city skyline, and Winnie and Walter "New Year" sentiment were also stamped in Momento Luxe White and Zing White embossing powder. The skyline was then fussy cut and pop dotted for more depth.


There's some more fabulous inspiration from the design team over on 
Looking forward to seeing your fabulous NEW creations!



 
Also playing along with this fabulous inspiration from Inkspiration,
inspired by Winnie and Walter 1st Birthday Bash (1 Colour)
Winnie and Walter 1st Birthday Bash (Gradient Challenge),
 the CAS(E) this Sketch - with a dash of liberal interpretation,
Little Red Wagon Another Happy New Year! and 
Simon Says Stamp Anything Goes.
