Celebrate

Hi friends,

Wishing you all a very Happy New Year.

Hope this year fulfills all the expectations you have and brings you a lot of joy and hope.

I wanted to start this new year by sharing a card I made using my favorite Altenew stamp ..This is one of their older release but I recently laid hand on it for the first time and I was quite happy to play with it...The only catch for me though is this stamp has open images meant for coloring and I have quite limited skills when it comes to coloring :( Nevertheless, I gave it a go using a new coloring medium which was gifted to me by a dear friend and fellow blogger Tejal...Its the Nirmal transparent watercolor booklet. This is small book which is filled with vibrant colors something along the lines of Peerless watercolors. I really had fun working with it.

And here's what I have created with it :

And a  close up of the glittered sentiment which is die cut from glitter washi tape:

To create this card, I first stamped and heat embossed images from Persian Motif set and colored it using the Nirmal transparent water colors. The butterfly is from the  Altenew Wild Hibiscus set and the  stripes on the side panel is stamped and heat embossed using a Bo Bunny stamp. Finished this card with some sequins from Winnie and Walter and spattered some droplets on the card using the same colors as the ones used for coloring the image.

Before I created this card, I first practised my coloring skills on some gift tags!

Here they are :

 Hope you like my card and tags!
