2021 ~ Lucky Cats!

 

Hi friends!


I'm sure you are as excited as me to put 2020 behind you

and move into this brand new year!

2021 holds a lot of promise

and I can already feel it working for me :)




There's a pep in my step ...

a burst of creativity,

a joy to pick up paper, paint, pencils!


Maybe it's because the ideas are flowing that

I have all this creative energy, so

 I'm striking while the (hot glue) iron is hot!




I was the VERY lucky winner of a gift certificate from Mama Elephant

and chose this super duper cute Lucky Cat stamp set 

To create this card, I stamped the images and colored them 

with my copic markers and set them aside.

I made a quick watercolor spritz background to emulate fireworks

and then realized .....

I need 2 0 2 1 and don't have any number dies!


*cue my OH NO face!*


Lucky me again, I have the Brother Scan N Cut

(which I fully profess that I barely know how to use!)

and thought - this makes numbers, somehow!

It took maybe 5 minutes to figure out 

and even shorter to use thick glitter cardstock - total success!


Here's my completed card!


Thanks for stopping by!
