I created this New Year card for my friend and enjoyed painting it so much that I created another two...  Such a lovely stamp to water colour.  I could not find my 'happy new year stamp' so I wrote it in my own handwriting instead.  

Note to self... must clean my craft room, I have a few things I am unable to find !!!
