Something new for the New Year


So glad you've stopped by today.  

The week is winding down and things are starting to get back to normal (whatever that may be) for us.  School has started back for my daughter and youngest son.  The last semester of his senior year of high school.  He's excited, but a little nervous too.  My oldest will head back to college on Sunday.  

Little Miss Muffet Challenges has a new challenge starting today.  The challenge is to use something new.  

For this challenge, I decided to use Saffron.  A brand spanking new image that was a freebie last week.  Check here for more details.

I colored Saffron with my Copic markers. Then dis-tressed and sponged Tim Holtz Dis-tressing Ink in Tea Dye around the edges.  I kept the background simple.  

I am really happy with the way this turned out.  I've never colored as large an area with my warm grays, but I really like how it turned out.  What do you think?

I also dotted Saffron's hat and muff to create the fuzzy look.  I'm happy with how it turned out too. 

I'm entering this card into the following challenges:
DigiStamps 4 Joy:  something old (ribbon), something new (iamge)
Fab 'n Funky: something new
Fresh Brewed: something new
Inky Impressions: anything goes
Paper Shelter: anything goes

Thanks for visiting. Have a great weekend.

Later chicas!!
