Use something new

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU ALL.

It is time for a new challenge for January 2026 over at Simply Clean and Simple. 

 The theme is Use Something New.  I actually used two stamps sets which have been waiting patiently to be used for a very long time.  First time out of the box they were kept in.

One of my New Year resolutions is to start using what I already have instead of buying lol. 

I decided to create a light washed card trying to keep it subtle. 

I used the following stamps designed by Tracy Evans over at AALL & Create and Tracy Evans Boutique Designs
TE43 Magnolia
# 714 Create Sunshine
# 716 Scatter Kindness

Stamps by me No-line ink pad

Kuretake Zig watercolour pens Cobalt, Haze blue and Light blue.

Lots of water for the wash from the flowers 

I do hope you will come on over and join us in the challenge for the start of 2026.
