Happy new year!

Wishing everyone a very happy 2016!! Wow..how the time flies..2016 is here and today is the 7th day of the new year already! Where did 2015 go? 
I did start a bunch of new things in 2015..papercrafting, card making, blogging..hoping to continue the same in 2016.. I also made a bunch of new IG friends who are so supportive and gave me inspiration to start my own blog and put myself out there..not so easy for an introvert like me :) . A big thank you to all of them..
Well being the holiday season and all, I did not get much crafting done..have family visiting from US and India so taking a break for a while.. And boy is that tough..my sister got me a bunch of goodies from US and I had to pack them all up till I get some free time to craft. 
This is what she got for me 
Isn't she the best 😊.. 
Anyways..I thought I would share a card I had made for a friend for new year.. I used all my old supplies so it's not very fancy, but I got to try the coloring on Kraft technique I have seen so many crafters do. 
So I stamped the greeting first using versamark ink and heat embossed it using silver embossing powder. Then I stamped a bunch of flowers and leaves using the versa color white pigment ink. It shows up really well on the Kraft cardstock. Then it was a simple matter of coloring the images with my  Fabre Castell Classic color pencils. I did minimal shading as the images were not that big. A bit of fancy holiday ribbon on one edge finished up the card.. Simple yet elegant 😊

Thanks for stopping by..
Cheers,
