Jenn created an amazing monochromatic village scene to celebrate the New Year. She was inspired by the fireworks in the Inspiration Board!

Jenn created a watercolor panel with shades of black and grey. She added the Stitched Fireworks to the sky, then added lots of bright color! She splattered Gansai Tambi Starry Colors gold metallic ink for lots of sparkle.

Next, she colored the images from Happy Village, Village Shops and Village Heroes in monochromatic shades of gray.

The bold greeting rings in the new year with Quinn’s 123s and Riley’s ABCs! She gold embossed “happy” then she added Chunky Glitter to the numbers!


Thank you so much for this brilliant inspiration, Jenn!

Samantha was inspired by the New Year challenge to create a gorgeous inked and stenciled design!

Samantha created the background by ink blending in an ombré fashion. She kept it darker at the top and lighter towards the bottom. Then she splattered it with the inky color and white acrylic ink to mimic fireworks and excitement! Once it was all dry, she used some White Stencil Paste and the Snowflake Trio Stencil to add some wintery texture.

Samantha heat embossed part of the sentiment from Let’s Bokeh in white onto some Black Licorice Cardstock, then popped it up with foam tape.

The Scripty Cheers was die cut out in 80lb white cardstock 5 times, and then one time in the Metallic Gold Cardstock. She layered them together with liquid glue and added some glitter for even more shine. Then she finished off the card with a sprinkling of gold star sequins!

Thank you so much for sharing this brilliant inspiration with us, Samantha!

Hey friends, it’s Christy here with another card for our Inspiration Board Challenge! For this one I decided to make a sweet holiday scene celebrating the coming New Year. I combined images from Wood You Be Mine with the Build-A-Cabin dies. I stamped the images in Jet Black ink, colored them with Copic markers, and trimmed them out with the matching dies.

I die cut the various pieces from Build-A-Cabin from Kraft, Sage Leaf, and Ballet Slippers Cardstock. I also trimmed down a piece of Sticky Note Cardstock and added that behind the windows and door so it would look like the lights are on. I also added a bit of Copic color to the chimney to emphasize the bricks.

Then I created a background by blending Distress Oxide Inks onto Bristol Smooth Surface Cardstock. I used Kitsch Flamingo and Squeezed Lemonade for the sky and splattered on some Gansai Tambi Starry Colors for stars. Then added a bit of Evergreen Bough to the tops of the Stitched Hillside Borders I used for the snow drifts. I also blended some of the same shades onto the matching cabin pieces and used Gathered Twigs on top of the Kraft elements.

I adhered the background to a Ballet Slippers card base and added the cabin and stamped images, and stamped a sentiment in the top right corner. Then I finished up with a bit of Stardust Stickles.

You still have time to play along with our Inspiration Board Challenge!
