A happy Visible Image new year!

Good morning everyone and a very happy new year! Here we are in 2025...25 years since the millennium celebrations which I feel were about 10 years ago! However a whole quarter of a century has flown by.  I am here today to share my first design team make of the new year for Visible Image. The theme for our makes this week is "new year resolutions/positive affirmations". I thought that the "One kind word" stamp set would work perfectly. A new year is certainly a good time to "write the next chapter" and remind those we care about how much they are loved.

 This is my card

I made it using the following products;

One kind word

plus the mesh heart stencil

And this is how I made it;

 I used a background from my stash made using wilted violet, mermaid lagoon and salty ocean distress spray stains. I cut it to 5 1/4" square. 

I stamped and clear heat embossed the typewriter twice onto white card. I used Versafine clair ink for all my stamping. I cut one out completely and just the paper on the 2nd.

I found the placement for the stencil by laying the typewrite in place. 

I then removed the image and blended lumberjack plaid distress ink through the stencil.

Next I stamped the sentiment the letters flourish 3 times as shown below. 

I stamped the words on the spare cut out typewriter paper. I glued it in place adding a foam square behind to give some dimension. 

I then repeat stamped the small hearts in the set over the background and added my signature sequins as a finishing touch. 

This could be a great card to send someone who might have had a tough year last year. It would let them know how much they are loved and that you are wishing a better 2025 for them.
