Oh my goodness it's 2012...


Happy New Year to everyone.  Let's hope it's a good one for us all.  One of my many New Year resolutions is to use more of my stash especially new stuff as sometimes I buy things and find a space somewhere in the craft room and simply never get round to using them even though I love the stamps to pieces.  Really silly to buy and never ink up so to start the year I've made a card using a really cute Molly Bloom stamp that Santa brought me.  I really love this stamp as it has so many possibilities.  I think it would fab paper pieced and would decoupage quite well too.

I used the sketch from Papertake Weekly as a basis for my design and papers that have been in my stash for a long, long time.  I like to use vellum over highy patterned paper as I love the way you can still see the design on the paper through the layer.  In this case I found a matching blue vellum to use.  The image was coloured using Promarkers and die cut snowflakes and gems complete the card.
Additional Challenges...
Think I may start my other resolutions (less red wine and more healthy food) next week.  LOL! Have a great day whatever you have planned for the day. 
Love and smiles,
