Dia daoibh!
Athbhliain faoi mhaise daoibh go léir! Wishing everyone a very happy New Year filled with good health, happy moments, and plenty of creative time!
While the festive season meant cosy days and slowing down for many, Christmas in healthcare came with a much fuller diary and a pace that never eased off. January then swans in full of expectations while staff are still operating on caffeine, muscle memory, and sheer determination. Relaxation remains a rumour, often spoken about in hushed tones by other professions, so escaping somewhere far nicer and significantly sparklier feels like the only sensible option.
On to the crafty bit and Challenge 102 at Ally’s Angels . The theme, as always, is Anything Goes, which is basically permission to craft without overthinking, and honestly that is the best kind of theme.
For my card, I used a champagne and bow SVG which I tiled across the page to create the background. I coloured everything using Promarkers and had great fun bringing it all together. The sentiment is from Newton’s Nook Designs Cocktail Mixer Stamp Set . I layered it onto glitter card for a bit of sparkle and added foam pads for some lovely dimension, because flat cards are grand, but a little lift makes them happier.
Be sure to check out the Ally’s Angels DT. They are incredibly creative and always full of inspiration. Fair warning though, it may lead to sudden urges to craft immediately.
Thanks so much for stopping by, and here is to a New Year of creativity, sparkle, and enjoying every crafty minute.
