Anything But Cute Challenge #9 Ring out the Old, Bring in the New

Hello everyone,

It is time for another challenge at Anything But Cute and this month the host is our dear Anne.
Here is the description of this month's challenge:

To celbrate the New Year, we woulde like you to create a mixed media card or project using something "new", perhaps you got some fabulous new craft item for Christmas or you have something new that you have not used yet, just remember to tell us what the new item is!

And here is what I created:

I used the Spellbinders Sentiments 5 die that I got from my son for Christmas :)

Here is the new item close up...

I arranged different crafter's clay embellishments, shabby bow and handmade flower to complement my "hello" die...

The base for this card was made with a piece of distressed turquoise card stock. I used home made texture paste for the Prima Finnabair doily stencil, then I dabbed gesso to mute the color of the card stock. The last touch was randomly applied white paint...

Please stop by Anything But Cute to see what my team mates have made for this challenge and then, it will be your turn to show off your creations...
I hope you enjoyed this post...
Have a fabulous day and thanks for stopping by..
