Hello and welcome.  Today begins a new challenge over at Pammie's Inky Pinkies and this week we're being sponsored by  Gerda Steiner Designs.  I would like to thank Gerda for her sponsorship and for providing images for the design team to use.  My card this week is featuring Gerda's Newsletter freebie and it's a great way to say Happy New Year to some one.

After printing off the image onto Neenah white card stock, I dug out my Copic markers and colored the image before blending some leftover stormy sky distress ink using my blending brush then layering and adding brads.  Setting the layered image aside, I stamped my card base using a retired Stampin Up Beyond Basics background stamps in so saffron ink then stippled the same ink around the edges.  I then added the layered image using glue dots before digging around in my stash for matching, but dusty, Prima flowers.  After adding those using micro glue dots, I added some bling to the centers, twine on the top and yellow stickles to the star.  I'm really happy with how it turned out since my migraines have been active again.
