Good morning, we have a new challenge at Michelle Perkett Studio today and our theme is 'Happy New Year'. The DT have all used this beautiful image, 'Fairy Bridesmaid' from Michelle's Etsy Store for our cards, isn't she perfect for New Year too?
As usual I've coloured the image with promarkers, then used nesties labels 10 to cut it out and distress with rose red versacolour ink. I've also added a layer of mustard seed distress EP around the edge, it s a lovely creamy gold colour.
The bp is printed from a cd that came with Complete Cardmaking magazine last Christmas and i've added some faux stitching with a sakura glaze pen and matted it on red glitter card. I've added some red gems, a gold padded star and some bargain ribbon (99p for 4m in the Christmas department at Wilkinsons). The 'Happy New Year' ticket is from Crafty Ann's.
I'm entering 'Fairy Bridesmaid' in the following challenges:
CD Sunday: In Stitches
Aly's Sunday Challenge: Anything goes
The Crafty Pad: Anything goes
I did it Creations: In with the New
Catch the Bug: :New Year
C.R.A.F.T challenge: New Year

Thanks for visiting today. I hope you're enjoying the holidays. I've been having a wonderful time but its back to work tomorrow. I'd better make the most of today, lots of chocolate, watch some TV and try and fit in some crafting too :-)
