Happy New Year everyone! Its the start of another year, another decade, another chance to do all the things you want to do in life! So what are you going to do this year?
I personally want to do more crafting & painting this year. Last year saw a temporary pause when I started a new job/vocation in June. But now that I’ve settled into my teaching role, I feel ready to get back into crafting again and what better way than to start with a new watercolour challenge over at “Happy Little Stampers“!As usual, its an “Anything Goes” challenge with an optional twist of adding die cuts. I used my Sizzix Floral panel which is my go-to when I’m rushing to make a card, as I had loads of family and friends staying till the 30th so I didn’t have a lot of spare time. I use the die to cut out a piece from one of many watercolour “practice” pieces, (as in attempts to create a beautiful piece that failed). Nevertheless, they do make great scraps for my die cuts, don’t you think?
The sentiment comes from Altenew and with it, I wish you all Another FAB year of being totally AWESOME!
Looking forward to seeing your wonderful creations in the link-up here. Thanks for stopping by and have a great start to 2020 doing something you love!
Hugs,
I love the beautiful colours and the effects you ;have on your pretty die cut! I love the way you find treasures in the box of ink play pieces! As you say they all look amazing when die cut! 🙂

Happy 2020! I would never guess that the panel you used for your die cut was a rejust – it looks beautiful here!
