A very Happy New Year to you! This is my first DT card this year which I made for Ching-Chou Kuik's brand new 2020 monthly Facebook challenge. The theme is "New Year, New Beginnings or New Crafty Stash".
What better way than to start off with a new birthday card, right? This stunning image is "Tender Blue", found here:

Items for "New Crafty Stash" include the flower die, the vine die, the gold button and coloured seashells.
As always, I used my usual mediums (Copic markers and FC Polychromos pencils) to colour this lovely image. I made the flower and the pinwheel bow. I cut the frame twice to make it longer than its original size and pieced it together. And, I added cheesecloth under the seashells.
In addition to a Facebook challenge,Ching-Chou also has a challenge blog. There are some wonderful images that you can win if you enter either one.
That's all from me. Thank you for stopping by, and I hope to see you soon. Hugs, Lori xx

Hi, Lori!
ReplyDeleteThanks for another fabulous entry at 613 Avenue Create! You color choices for this project are unexpected and visually striking! Because all the colors are in the focal image, it keeps the eyes from drifting. Very nicely conceived and beautifully executed!
