Happy New Year!
What creative plans do you have for the new year? I like to have creative goals for the year so I can spend time to learn new techniques and grow my skills. This year will be all about classes! There are an abundance of classes and tutorials online. I have classes scheduled with my favorite artists and a membership to Skillshare so I'm ready! Let me know what you'll be working on by leaving a comment.

After the past months of holiday focus, I thought I would open up the year with a symbol for new beginnings. I know that sounds cheesy but the sky depicts a new day with new possibilities!

I used watercolor to blend yellow, orange, blue and purple on the whole page. Watercolor can be freeing if you allow it to do what it wants. In this case, I think it delivered fairly well.

I then took the mountain stamp from Studio Light and stamped it with Versafine black ink. I used my Misti so I could stamp multiple times and get a good imprint on the textured watercolor paper.

I heat embossed the image with clear embossing powder. I then stamped Mathia's sentiment on scrap card stock and picked out some paper colors that would match with the card while still highlighting the sentiment.

I lined up everything, popping up the sentiment with foam tape, and attached it all to my card base.  I really do enjoy the scene, the brightness of the yellow and the earthiness of the mixed browns. What do you think?

Until next time...
