JANUARY 2026 - A PLACE TO START - ANYTHING GOES w/Optional Twist: Rainbows (Lots of Colors)

Happy New Year, Crafty Makers!

Over at A Place to Start, we decided to start the New Year off with HOPE!

Optional Theme: Rainbows - Lots of Colors

Your project does not have to be a rainbow; we just want to see lots of colors!

I created this card for my granddaughter, who celebrated her 13th Birthday on December 27th.  My son flew down for the holidays, but the kids had other plans, so this card and her gifts are going back with her Dad.  After I completed the card and showed it to my son, he reminded me that her favorite color is lavender and her older sister's favorite color is pink.

I recreated the card in her favorite color, but switched to gold-foiled straws because they seem to work best with the lavender.
I also added a bit more color to the confetti background and brushed on some gold shimmer paint.

RAINBOW LOTS OF COLORS
This card best captures our theme of lots of colors!  The colorful straws and the confetti splatter are bright, cheery, and hopeful!
I used liquid watercolor inks to color the vellum flower.

Thanks for stopping by! I hope to see your project in our challenge!

    Both beautiful cards, love the textured splatter background, beautiful water coloured flowers and great use of straws.
