Happy New Year from all of us at Little Red Wagon. I have the pleasure of of kicking off the 2026 challenges. Iʻm leaving this one to a certain extent, up to you. The key word this week is new. You can create a Happy New Year card or a new baby, house, job etc card or you could use a happy new technique or new stamp or new die. Just let me know in your post how new relates to your project. I mentioned cards in the description, but remember we are happy to see any of your papercrafted projects.
Iʻve chosen to use a new stamp and a new die to create a "just because" card. I also tried something new by gluing gold metallic wrapping paper to a heavy cardstock to create a metallic cardstock.
The stamp is from Rubbernecker (now Brass and Bliss). It was given to me by a friend that got a bunch of their discontinued stamps in a thrift store auction. I have several more that I canʻt wait to use. They all work so well using a watercolor technique. The sentiment is one I have had a very long time and just recently rediscovered during the move. It is from what was Ma Vinciʻs Reliquary which was supposed rebranded to Blue Linen Press, but I couldn't find them. They had a bunch of great sentiments that are so apropos for some of the craziness I see going on here, like the one on this card.
Beautiful card Brenda, I love the gold you made and fabulous water colouring on the flower, really gorgeous..Happy New Year xx

Adorable card, Brenda. And you are so right, that image is perfect for a watercolor technique. Your paper complements the image to a tee and using the gold wrapping paper on heavy cardstock was a brilliant idea! Couldn't agree with you more on that sweet sentiment, too.
