I hope that you all had a lovely Christmas break and New Year's Eve last night, and you're not feeling too worse for wear this morning!
Not only is today the start of a new year, it's also the start of a new challenge at As You Like It Challenge where the theme is to use your favourite shape or fold.
As you'll know if you visit me often, I love shaped cards and usually use pre cut ones, but this is one I cut myself using a Go Kreate labels die. I really love this shape and really should use it more often. I also love tent fold cards the best (I can't explain why, I just do, and there is no rhyme or reason for it!).
Actually, saying that I find them easier to photograph, but I'm not sure that's the real reason!
I'm also still fixated on the colour pink, my Maya Design papers, LOTV images and DI reinkers. I really do love it when I make the effort and use the reinkers, but it does take me a lot longer to paint with the water colours than it does to use Copics. (note to self, must try harder to make the effort!)
Anyway, I hope you like my card, and hope you join us in the new fancy shapes and folds challenge this fortnight.

I do like shaped bases but go through phases of using them and then seem to forget about them - this is a really pretty shape.
The image is super cute and it does look lovely painted with DIs - fabulous shading :-)
Good luck with the New Year's Resolution to use your unused stash!
Big hugs, Kat xx
