It's the last Tickle a Teapotter challenge of 2019 - you can find it HERE. While every other week we send our cards out to spread cheer, encouragement or share in a celebration, this week we send our cards to each other...
I used the Swing Easel Card tutorial linked in the challenge, and found it very easy to follow. I got my extra cookies by using one of the very first rubber stamps I ever bought for the easel stopper.
Image coloured with Polychromos, SN clear glitter on the sun. Palette stamped and embossed on kraft, coloured with Inktense, silver pen, Liquid Pearls for the paints. Matting layer for the image is faux wood - antique linen and vintage photo on kraft. SB label die for cutting the sentiment.

Wow, what a bright and cheerful card. Perfect sentiments for starting the new year.
I'm so glad you posted this challenge. I'd never made an easel card before and it turned out to be quite easy (another lesson to take into the new year.) Happy New Year, Sabrina.
