Lia Stampz - Challenge #56 - Monochrome

Hello, my friends!

Welcome to my last post of 2013! Can you believe another year will begin in just a couple of hours? What a year it has been!  Before I get into my post I want to wish each of you a Very Happy New Year full of Blessings! :o)

It's also time for a new challenge to begin over at Lia Stampz. This time the theme is "monochrome" and you have until January 15th to link up a project. I made my card using a fun image that is very appropriately called "Happy New Year." It can be found at Whimsy Stamps right HERE. My colour inspiration was the Pantone Color of the Year 2014 - Radiant Orchid. I've included the photo farther down in the post.



Materials Used:
Papers: Recollections - Cardstock;
Image: Lia Stampz - Happy New Year,
Prismacolor Pencils and OMS;
Dies: Just Rite Custom Dies;
Spellbinders Nestabilities - Labels Fourteen;
Punches: WRMK Mini 8 Punch - Doily;

Now, for those of you that are interested, I'll share my 2014 Design Team schedule.

Jellypark Friends Friday Challenges - New challenge post every other Friday beginning on January 3rd.

All Dressed Up - New challenge post the 2nd day of every month, as well as an inspirational post on the 17th of each month. This will begin in February because there is something special planned for January.
