Happy new year dear friends...welcome to 2019. I hope you all enjoyed seeing in the new year last night and are planning a quiet peaceful day today especially if you hit the bubbles whilst celebrating. Here is a lovely restful photo of a gorgeous rose I was sent by a dear friend for Christmas. How pretty is that red and the glitter sparkle is perfect for this time of the year.
As it is the 1st of the month it is of course time for our first challenge over at Country View. Our theme chosen by Christine is landscapes or cityscapes. I will confess I spent quite a lot of time umming and arhhring about what to make. I don't have any cityscape stamps or dies at all so I decided to go with the landscape part and also try to incorporate at Happy New Year card into it!
This is what I got up to;
I added a couple of oxide inks and some drips of water to black card just to give a hint of colour to my landscape.
I then used my Visible Image, "Into the Woods" stamp set and stamped the background tree line stamp in white
and the foreground stamp in gold ink.
This created my landscape.
I then die cut some trees and stamped a very old Tim Holtz inspirational time sentiment and the Visible Image Happy new year and white embossed them.
Here is my new year, wintry landscape card. It went up for sale at Dotty's and sold the day it went in!

Absolutely gorgeous, Jane! Isn't it amazing what you can do with the DOI? Thanks so much for joining us at As You Like It Challenge. Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteAmazing landscape, Jane! I understand, what you mean - I felt the same, when I read the theme, I don´t have stamps for this too. But you created a really lovely scene and the sentiment is gorgeous! No wonder, that it was sold immediately!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year!

I think you've created a wonderful landscape with those beautiful layered trees in the background, and the die-cut trunks in the foreground framing that great quote. Love the fireworks too (white is definitely the best colour of firework!).
