So did you miss us??  It’s been a whole 2 weeks since the last challenge – where did Christmas go??  I’m still in the process of packing away the last few things – with a very heavy heart 🙁

For my card today which celebrates the “new” I’ve used some gorgeous new Simon Says Stamp goodies that I got in my last order.  The beautiful Delicate Thistle die was sent to me from my lovely friend and team-mate Melissa Bove – thank you so much Melissa.  I am a originally from Glasgow (but have lived in England for the past 20 years) so the thistle (which is Scotland’s national flower if you didn’t know) is a special symbol for me and I just adore this die.  I die cut it twice and then coloured it with Distress Markers before finally giving it a sheen with a good coat of Studio Calico shine spray.  For the background to my card I used the Tiny Dots stencil from Simon with some embossing paste.

Something new

I created the sentiment using the new Elle’s Alpha’s from Avery Elle (which I didn’t line up all that well) and just in case you didn’t know – Hogmanay is what we Scots call New Year!!!

Thanks for popping by – I’m looking forward to visiting your blogs this weeks and getting lots of lovely inspiration!!
