Something New for Allsorts Challenge

Hello and welcome! We are back this week at Allsorts challenge with our first new theme for 2023 and as always hope you will join us! It's Mervi's week to host and she selected the theme of "Something New".  I am also announcing the winner for the Year in Review hop so be sure to scroll down.

I used a new (to me) stencil I just received in an order a couple of weeks before Christmas. (Can you tell I buy my own Christmas presents?? LOL)


The bear is from the Penny Black set Love and Happiness. Although I've had this stamp set for about a year, this is my first time using this particular stamp from the set. Stamped with Memento Tuxedo ink so I could color with Copic markers for a change. I fussy cut the image. On the background I used my new Lavinia stencil Feather Leaf with Cracked Pistachio Distress Oxide ink.

The floor was done with Penny Black's Floor die. I used white card stock to cut it out then inked with Pumice Stone Distress Oxide ink. The side table is part of the cute bear stamp set which I also never used before. Using a copic marker, I added some color to a paper strip, then stamped the sentiment using Memento Tuxedo ink. Sentiment is part of a new set I got late last fall - Itty Bitty Basics by My Favorite Things. I have used another stamp from that particular set but not this one. A few sequins finish off the card.
