Now on to my take for the challenge:

I couldn't stop with just one card...had to use some new stamps along with some new papers by Echo Park for my first card. I was so excited to see the bleeding heart image in the January release as it was one of my favorite flowers in my mom's flower garden! I colored with Copics using R81, R83, & R85 for the flowers & G40, G21, & G24 for the leaves; C00 was used along the frame edge. I fussy cut the flowers and mounted them on the hand cut doily frame from the new Special Blend set. My "old" element is the top note die.
On to my second card...


My new element is this Fun Day 6x6 designer paper pad by My Mind's Eye with its unusual color palette of kraft, cream and black. I still consider the clover image and sentiment from the Simple Things set to be new since it just came out in ODBD's December release. My "old" element is the button which I found in my button tin... probably from my grandmother's stash and added to by my mother. The jury is still out on this monochromatic card...sure do miss my colors - lol!
