Happy New Year crafty friends and welcome to my first post of 2026 courtesy of our latest challenge at Christmas (or not) BINGO. I’m still on my journey back through Clarity’s 2025 Craft Club stamps as well, so used the flowers from last July for my card incorporating three of the prompts from Column I – square, layers, and stamped images.

I started by creating a layered background on a square 6×6 card blank, with a rectangle topper of white card and a mount of Indian Summer companion paper, sat on a square 5 inch white layer and then onto the card blank. I added a sentiment from the I Am Essential – Birthday set in the top corner.

Next was to sort the bouquet. I stamped it onto a piece of Clarity’s super smooth paper and then coloured the flowers and ribbon with Polychromo pencils, blending colours together to get depth of tone. Once shaded, I fussy cut the flowers.

I popped a bit of scrap card onto the back of the bouquet, plus some tiny foam pads along the ribbon and simply stuck it into place.

I have to thank the team at Color Dare for the inspiration to use bright colours for this. But more importantly, which of our BINGO card columns will you choose to create with? Remember, you choose one column from the board and incorporate at least three of the items onto your card – we’re looking forward to seeing you in our gallery, which runs until 15th February.
