My something new is this pretty embossing folder, stencil and die set. I love how it turned out! The stencil made it so much easier to color the raised embossed areas. I colored the areas using Distress Inks and a water brush.

Male Birthday Card

Happy New Year! I pray that 2026 will be a great year for you. Our New Year started off yesterday with hubby having shoulder surgery! The surgery went well and we are praying for a quick and full recovery. 

I was in need of some male birthday cards, so last week I created a few. On this card I water colored a background using a cheap set of children's watercolors. After it was dry I used a couple of stamps to randomly stamp over the background. I also used watercolors on the stamps before stamping. The car stamped image was fussy cut and popped up on the card. The saying is a sticker tab.
