Happy (*hic*) New (*hic*) Year (*hic*)

With just a few more days before we ring in the new year, for my Digi Choosday project this week I've made a bottle tag for our New Year tipple, using Winnie Winter Celebration and a sentiment from the Winnie Celebrations 2 Sentiments kit.

Water-coloured on Langton Watercolour paper with Ranger Distress Ink Reinkers:

• Browns: Antique Linen, Brushed Corduroy, Vintage Photo, Gathered Twigs 
• Skin: Tattered Rose, Tea Dye, Worn Lipstick
• Greens: Twisted Citron, Mowed Lawn, Peeled Paint
• Purples: Milled Lavender, Dusty Concord, Wilted Violet
• Oranges: Fossilised Amber, Wild Honey, Rusty Hinge
• Snow: Weathered Wood

I've been inspired by:

• Simon's Monday Challenge - Celebrate

Party Hat

I can't remember the last time that I heat-embossed, but I like the white-on-colour embossed text and decided to give it a try on today's card.  The little meecie is from my new MFT set and I love this little guy doing his happy-dance!  I've stuck the sentiment banner with foam pads and created a little wave in it by alternating raised bits with areas stuck directly onto the card.

Water-coloured on Langton Watercolour paper with Ranger Distress Ink Reinkers:

• Fur: Pumice Stone, Black Soot, Tattered Rose
• Grass: Twisted Citron, Mowed Lawn, Peeled Paint
• Sky: Tumbled Glass
• Purples: Milled Lavender, Wilted Violet

Stuffie Gang

I've been playing with my Stamping Bella images again today and have used Stuffie Gang on today's CAS card. I've tried to use (sort of) autumnal colours with the browns and golden browns (although I did sneak in a touch of pinky purple in the accents).  I think this is probably my favourite Stamping Bella image, closely followed by Honey Bears.

Card Recipe:

• Image - Stamping Bella Stuffies The Stuffie Gang
• Colouring - Distress Ink Reinkers
• Nitwit Collections Papers
• Momento Stazon Ink Pad
• The Langton Watercolour paper
• Viva Pearl Pen - Ice White
• Crystal Glamour Dust
• Lawn Fawn Stitched Scalloped Border die
• Button Twine

I've been inspired by:

• Cupcake Inspirations - Party Time
• The Ribbon Girl - Any Image (using Button Twine)
