Happy new year! It's that time of the month ~ time to show off challenge items from the previous months' challenge. In December, I challenged my guild members to create something old and new. I left it up to them to interpret the old and the new. I thought this was a fun way to end the old year and start the new!
Here's what I finally came up with:
I was cleaning out my wrapping paper area and found a piece of small wrapping paper that I'm not sure why I saved, frankly. It was too small to wrap most anything so as soon as I saw it, I remembered a recent Stamp TV from Gina K that highlighted using wrapping paper pieces for background patterned papers. Perfect for the challenge!
Here's my piece:
I decided to use the streamer part of the piece for my background (I still have the candle strips - I'm going to keep these in case inspiration strikes).
From there I picked all the colors I wanted to use from the multi colors of the paper.
I played around with some birthday stamps and nestie die cuts until I had my final design. Stamps and sentiment are from Papertrey Ink.
A bit brighter than my usual style but why not, it's a new year and all!
Hope you are having a fantastic day!
