Happy New Year!

Here's hoping that 2013 will be a wonderful year for all of you!

I posted the box I made for Mum and Dad's Christmas card the other day, so, as promised, here is the card that went inside it.



I used Maja Designs paper, inked the edges with Walnut Stain DI and sewed the middle panels. The lovely velvet and lace ribbon is from the Ribbon Girl and I used roses from Wild Orchid Crafts. The sentiment is one I've had for ages and is by Cat's Life Press.



For the image I masked Lucia Tilda and stamped Edwin beside her.  They have been coloured with Distress Markers and I've added lots of Stickles for some Christmas sparkle.

The inside was decorated with more paper from the same Maja Designs pad but I forgot to take any photos before I gave it to Mum and Dad! 

I'm going to enter this card into the following challenges:

Magnolia Down Under - Anything Goes
Wild Orchid Crafts - Anything Goes
Simon Says Stamp - Anything Goes

I hope you have all had a wonderful New Year and wish you all the very best of health and happiness for the coming months.

Thank you so much for stopping  by.

Hugs
