Hello everyone, and welcome to the new year 2026 and new challenge for Little Red Wagon and the theme is HAPPY NEW ??..you choose, anything you want, could house, baby, new year, anything new, even craft goodies, new craft goodies..yum..and our lovely Brenda is first up as hostess this year..
I'm sharing a new beginning of life in a slightly different way,..
I found this skeleton leaf and must admit I starred at it for quite awhile
before I came up with an idea but not for this challenge it was for something else..
I folded a card base and made 2 matts in kraft with a single score line
around the edges.
Glued the center vein ..
added a white oval inside to write on..
needed a butterfly and believe it or not, this was how I open the container,
right on top was exactly what I needed..
Glued him on and was so pleased with the simplicity of it..
even the tiny tear in the leaf, loved it.
Needed gems though but nothing too fancy and shiny,
and I have had theses from Rosies studio for so many long years they had nearly lost all their sticky.
But with the help of a spot of glue they were stuck and I loved them too..
a simple sentiment " To new Beginnings " and done..
I could pick several occasions for this to go, but will let the buyer choose..
So do come and join us HERE
Thank you so much for stopping by..
I'll see you soon..
luv CHRISSYxx
This is lovely Chrissy, the clean simplicity of this design lets the natural beauty of the leaf shine through.
