Have a Colourful New Year


Happy Friday and Happy New Year, DT Annalisa here. For my first card of 2025, I am excited to share a bright, colourful card, wishing you a vibrant start to the new year!

I created the rainbow card panel using Distress Watercolor Pencils in the following colours: Picked Raspberry, Spiced Marmalade, Mustard Seed, Twisted Citron, Salty Ocean, and Wilted Violet.

After heat-setting the panel, I used a stitched rectangle die to trim it to 4 inches by 5.25 inches. I then attached it to an A2 card base using double-sided tape.

For the sentiment, I used the Happy New Year Sentiment Die to cut paper from a Christmas cracker with a beautiful pattern—it was too lovely not to use! I also die-cut black cardstock with the same die and layered the two together slightly offset to create a shadow effect using liquid glue.


Next, I stamped images from the Warm Hugs, Fruitful FriendsLet’s Party and You’re Engaged stamp sets, then cut them out with their coordinating dies. I coloured the images with Copic markers and added accents with a white gel pen.

To finish the card, I adhered the stamped images and the sentiment to the card base using double-sided foam tape. Finally, I added stars die-cut from gold metallic cardstock using a die from my stash.


I hope you enjoy this colourful creation! Be sure to use my discount code T4TANNALISA10 when you visit the Time For Tea Designs shop to get 10% off your order.
