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.
