Fresh Beginnings !

Happy New Year !  
It's Sue here and today see's the start of the new challenges for 2015 here at ATP Exchange. The team are all rested and raring to go !  I'm your host for the next 2 weeks and I have chosen Fresh Beginnings for this challenge, now that the festive season is over and thoughts turn to what lies ahead in the New Year, take a look through your craft supplies and share with us a new product/technique/ or even a new item to alter !
Remember we are a Mixed Media challenge and and stamping must be included, but no digi images and no more than 10 challenges to be entered, including ATP Exchange. For the winner there is a £10 voucher to spend in Artist Trading Post. 
 
The team have created some fantastic projects to get your creative juices flowing !

I chose to go with a bright holiday style theme for my 'New Beginnings' project. We always plan our holiday in the New Year and that makes me very happy! The sentiment is inspired by a Nina Simone song. I also used my Faber Castell Gelatos for the first time and that is certainly a new beginning for me.

I used a new new stamps from a Dina Wakley set.

Sue

I tried out the Faux Chine Colle technique with my Gelli Plate. Love this new technique!


I love art dolls and have been promising myself that one day I would have a go at making one. I got carried away and made two. They were such fun to make, that I think  these two Sea Goddesses, may be just the beginning !
 I used a free template for the bodies, downloaded from a wonderful site called The Enchanted Gallery.  

Ruth


I used silk clay for the first time.

Annie

I decided to make something Vintage, using a canvas board, TH Stencils, Texture Paste and TH Distress Paints. The La Blanche stamp was applied to Tissue Paper and adhered to the canvas. I decided to play with my Ranger Melt Pot to create some 3 D elements from the stamp.

So, let's see what  Fresh Beginnings mean to you! You have until 20:00 on the 21 January to share your project with us.
