"Happy New Year"5 x 7 Card
This week's Mixed Media Monday challenge was to create something using your least favorite color. I choose to make a New Year's card with a simple message: this new year (or new decade) is an opportunity to wipe the slate clean and start anew.
I started with water color paper which was painted with a combination of mustard yellow and brunt umber (that's the least favorite part) acrylic before being coated with a ton of crackle medium. The sentiment, begin, was placed on top of a piece of decorative white card stock (also on the interior) using alpha stickers. The "i" was doted with an iridescent Swarovski crystal.
I wish you a New Year full of possibilities and joy. To see more pieces using least favorite colors, please check out www.MixedMediaMonday.Wordpress.com.

Beautiful card, and the color seems perfect for your theme!
Pretty card, lovely sentiment.
Much of Australia's wilderness areas, mountains and deserts are coloured rich, deep umber so it is burnt into our souls. I love your card, its beautiful background, its delicate papers and, especially, the crystal dotting the "i". Exquisite.

Stunning and elegant card, Kristin.
Beautifully created!
It seems that you've invented a brand new color and one that goes very well with the theme of new year's greetings. It's a wintry color. Beautiful piece.
