FTTC202 Happy Thoughts

Happy Tuesday, everyone!

I'm really happy to be back on a normal schedule again!  And glad that my favorite television shows are starting back up after the holidays too!  I COULD NOT WAIT for Downton Abbey to begin this past Sunday.  And it did not disappoint!  I love it!

Are you ready for the latest Timeless Tuesday challenge ?  Denise is our hostess and she's asked us to make a card or project with a NEW theme…use a new stamp set, celebrate the new year, whatever NEW you choose!

~

~

So I decided to use the gorgeous new stamp set called Winter Blossoms from Flourishes.  It's amazing!  I also used the new Winter Blossoms cut file and the new Perfectly Pierced Classic Hourglass die set.  I'm pretty doggone sure that this will fit the challenge!

~

I absolutely love this sentiment!  Using it on the front of the card means I can now use this card for so many different occasions...birthday, wedding, anniversary, get well.  So many possibilities!

I sponged around the edges of the die cut using my ink blending tool and some Distress Picked Raspberry ink while it was still in the die, and the beautiful lavender strips are from the  Color Made Easy Crocus paper collection.

Here are the Copic collections that I used:

I also used these individual colors: RV17 from the Tea Rose Collection, RV25 from the Dogwood Collection, RV66 from the Raspberry Collection, YG95 from the Evergreen Collection, and YR23 from the Beehive Collection.

The color combo I used are today is based on the challenge at CR84FN color challenge 69, and I also used the great new retrosketches #45:
