Welcome to Becca's Heart for Creativity blog! My heart's still jumpy and flummoxed over how quickly 2022 seemed to go by and the prospects of 2023! Ally's Angels Challenge Blog's #66 Anything Goes starts January 10th. I decided to do a Happy New Year card.
I've found in the past 10 years or so, that sometimes I receive late Christmas cards from acquaintances or extended family members that I hadn't sent to and instead of creating a 'late' Christmas card, I'll make and send them something about winter wishes or for HNY.
If you've followed my card-making in 2022, I did a free-form acrylic painting with 3 colors on white cardstock with some added gold glitter tempera paint that's been featured in several cards. Well, I've got another section of it (about 4.25" x 5.25") that I laid a varied star stencil over and added the same blue acrylic paint with a foam brush. Then I outlined each star with a small tip black marking pen. One foam blue and white snowflake for embellishment and gold lettering complete the card.
