A New Year...

*Be sure to scroll down to the end of the post for a special message!

Hi everyone and Happy 2010!  It's a bright new decade, a bright new year and I just KNOW that good things are in store for my family and I, so why not kick-start the year with a BRIGHT card?  I am not sure exactly why I chose these colors.  LOL  I didn't have paper to inspire me... I just sat down and colored and somewhere along the way I ended up with Raspberry Fizz, Pumpkin Pie and Aqua Mist. 



The sketch for this card came from Mercy.  I stamped the Pure Innocence, Heart Stripes girl, in Tuxedo Black Memento ink and colored her with Copic markers.  Each panel was stitched and then I placed a Baby Braddie in each corner.  I used a fun Prima burlap flower as my accent and stamped "Best Friends" along the lower panel using Raspberry Fizz ink.



I finished off the inside as well and tried to pull in some of the color blocking feel.  I also stamped the image in Versamark on the largest panel and stamped another sentiment from the set inside. 



Ink: Tuxedo Black Memento, Raspberry Fizz
Paper: White, Smoky Black, Pumpkin Pie, Raspberry Fizz, Aqua Mist patterned paper
Accessories: Prima burlap flower, silver brads, Janome sew mini, Copic markers (R17, R19, BG0000, BG000, BG10, BG11, BG13, RO5, RO8, E0000, E000, E00, R20), circle punch, circle Nestabilities, red line dimensionals, Sakura glitter pen, Sakura glaze pen

  6. Happy New Year to you Jody! Thanks for another year of inspiration. You have one of my favourite blogs, as I thik I relate to your style and humour the most. You are an extremely talented artist! I don't get time to stamp as much as I would like to, so I "stamp" vicariously through you! You are quite the enabler!!!!
    Looking forward to seeing more of your works of art!
