OSAAT #145 - 'New'


Happy New Year to you all.

The first challenge of the New Year over at One Stitch at a Time challenge blog and the theme is New. That means it can be new year, new baby, new craft items used, anything along the lines of 'new', good luck.

I chose the image of Catlady by Pookie over at Sitchybear Digital Stamps and decided to use her for a new year card. She would be welcomed at any new year party when she's wearing such a beautiful dress - I'm not so sure whether the big cat would be welcome though!!

I used a large scalloped card blank by Craft UK from Joanna Sheen. The embossed panel is white paper embossed using a Crafter's Companion Embossalicious folder and then matted on to purple Mirri card. Both panels had their corners rounded with a Carl corner punch. The image was coloured with my Promarkers and cut with a Spellbinders grand oval nestie and matted on to the scalloepd nestie.Her necklace was enhanced with some purple Stickles to add some glitz for that party! I used a Marianne die for the scroll and a Spellbinders die for the beautiful shape in the top right corner, it's from the Ironwork Motifs set. I generated the Happy New Year on the computer, rounded the corners, matted on to purple Mirri card as a small plaque and added three purple pearls from Wild Orchid Crafts.

All details of the prizes can be found on the OSAAT challenge blog, please come and join us.
