This new year I wanted to try incorporating several challenges into one card.
This card works for the Color Challenge CC720, however, I didn't have the exact colors but used Altenew inks which were pretty close. The purple faded a bit on the watercolor paper. I added the dessert challenge: a ribbon.
Also, I tried a technique new to me for TLC723, embossing folder stamping. It was fun, took me several tries using water for spritzing: too much then too little!
The teapot challenge MMTPT54 required that you use at least 4 "Happy New Years" letters to represent things on your card:
H = Happy
E = Embossing Folder Stamping (new for me)
Y = Yellow butterflies
R = ribbon
N = new inks
W = wings
I created my background first with the eb stamping. I added a ribbon and glued it onto blue-green card stock. Then, stamped the butterflies and cut them out with the coordinating dies. I curled the wings with a pencil and popped the butterflies up on background. I stamped my saying and layered on purple.

Everything about your card is just a delight! The background turned out beautifully (good for you for persevering) as did those sweet butterflies, and the ribbon a gorgeous dessert addition for the CC. Well done for all three challenges!

Your card is beautiful in so many ways. I love the embossing folder stamping and you did such a great job with it. Awesome ribbon and butterflies.
