Crafty Calendar January Challenge - Happy New Year Card

Good morning and a happy new year.

It's the first Saturday in January so over at Crafty Calendar we have the first monthly challenge of 2026.

For this months challenge the theme is "Anything New" so I went with a Happy New Year card

For my card I have used:

Stitched Numbers die set from Spellbinders (S7-234) cut from Spellbinders colorwheel cardstock.  The top layer was cut from Raven and the base layer from Tuscan.  I cut a second base layer from gold to create a drop shadow.  I decided not to do any stitching on the numbers, I just added a gem to the centre of each stitching circle.

The background is The Greetery Sparkler background stamp on Saffron colorwheel cardstock.

This months prize is digital images from Polkadoodles.
