Iâve combined my final Falliday Fest challenge (Jeanâs challenge to create a New Year card that isnât Christmasy) with todayâs tone on tone stenciling technique challenge. I took this stamp out of its drawer and thought it would be the only time I ever use it. I was totally going to put it in my âGoing awayâ box, but then I realized I could make her into Raggedy Ann. Plus, itâs good to have at least one angel stamp in case I run into that as a challenge. So, Iâll keep her. My best New Year stamp was an inside one. Itâs a sentiment from Moâs that says â...this New Year and every year.â So I paired it with this âpeace love joyâ sentiment from Unity. Also, how awesome is this stencil that I bought from the nationâs oldest art supply store in Worcester. I just love it and you will be seeing a lot of it in the future!

She reminds me rather of a knitted doll our nextdoor neighbour gave me when I was little. It's always a good idea to have an angel in your stash. The backgrounds are both beautiful.

Love that you used the tone on tone design 2 ways - it even mimics the design in your raggedy angel's wings & apron. Nicely done.

that stencil has me drooling.....and you are so creative to make an angel into Raggedy Ann. Hope the angel isn't offended. You get a lot of use out of your 'stuff.' Thanks for playing in my challenge.
