With it being a brand new year and all, I guess I should wax philosophic a bit......I could reference the butterfly on my {gorgeous} card and liken it's journey from caterpillar to a beautiful butterfly of freedom......and, how representative that is of all of us on the verge of so many great things in this brand. new. year.
But, I won't. Mostly because I just don't buy into the New Year hype. I never really have. Never been big on the whole new year resolution thing either--truth be told.
I'm not jaded or kermudgeny.....I just think every day is a gift. Everyday is a day you should try to be your best and do your best. Everyday is a day full of opportunity and hope. Each day, we come a little closer to being who we are supposed to be.
New Year's just makes me feel old.....LOL! As I struggled to stay awake until midnight, I used the time to create this colorful card.
I started with watercolor paper and my best and favorite sprays--Dylusions! After it was all blendy and dried, I over stamped with the beautiful Vintage Botanicals Collage Palettini stamps (#P018) from Technique Junkie Stamps. To finish it off, I've used the Bandana technique (TJ Newsletter 8/2008). It's an oldie, but a goodie!
That is all. Go be awesome!
TTFN, Jane
