January 26th sees in the year of the Ox, so Happy New Year to those of you who observe Chinese New Year.
Graphicus have set a challenge for this month - Celebrate / Purple & Gold. I chose Chinese New Year as the celebration, used my new Christmas & Birthday pressie Glimmer mists, and an Elusive Images stamp or two. The Chrysanthemum is embossed in gold, then coloured the embossing with alcohol inks, a new idea from me, and one I know I will explore again! I'm posting this for a challenge on
Crafts by Carolyn too!
