Here's my card for the Ways to Use It Challenge - New Year/New Toys - to use some new stuff!
Well - first I used a stamp set I bought a while ago but have never used - so that's new right??!! And I did use two new inks I just purchased - Memento Espresso Truffle for the wreath and Grape Jelly for the berries.
Now for some reason my card looks blue - but it is in reality Royal Velvet purple - and the berries are purple as well (Grape Jelly actually!) but my camera turned the purple to navy blue -
This is also my first card for the January SCS Christmas challenge - to use non-traditional colors. Purple and Espresso are not your usual Christmas colors.
This is my first year joining in with the SCS Christmas Challenges - it's a great way to get your cards all done in a slow deliberate fashion so you can relax when December rolls around!
I have another post next to this one - showing that I made 4 of these cards - I'm going to make 4 each month for the Christmas Challenges.

So pretty, Julia. 2012 was my first year for the Christmas challenges. You will be so happy you joined, and this is a fantastic start for your 2013 stash Beautiful CAS card.
