Art by MiRan Facebook Challenge #1 for January - Anything Goes

Good morning and welcome to my post for the Art by MiRan Facebook Challenge. Our theme this time is an easy one - anything goes as long as you use an image from Art by MiRan and that can include the rubber stamps from Treasured Times and Whimsy as well as those from the Art by MiRan etsy store.

I used the gorgeous Lady Penelope for my card this time and she was just so gorgeous to colour! She definitely looks ready to celebrate doesn't she? I didn't want to do a New Year's card as we generally don't send them out as separate cards here in the UK. You generally write Happy New Year inside a Christmas card to do both celebrations together, so I just made a time to celebrate card instead so it could be used for any special celebration.

Lots of glitz and bling on this one which always makes it so much harder to photograph.
