January PTC: Anything Goes

The prompt for the January PTC swap over on Clarity MiniMakes and ATCs is Anything Goes so I decided to make one with a New Year theme.

I trimmed a piece of Rainbow River designer parchment to 4” x 3”.

Next, I used the nested rectangle picot Groovi plate to add a double frame for the outer edge of the PTC with the #1 Pergamano tool.

The year was added using the middle sized numbers on the Open Numbers baby plates.

First, I added the 6.

Then came both 2s,

and finally, the 0.

To finish the line art, I added Happy New Year using the Merry Christmas A5 square Groovi plate.

I cut across the corners, folded the edges and added to an ATC blank with double sided tape.

It was a quick job to add the ATC stamp to the back of a second ATC blank and complete the details in Jet Black Archival ink and a micron pen. This was then added to the back of the PTC.

To finish, I added Perga Glitter (hint of gold) to the numbers and lettering using sticky ink and a mapping pen.

For the card, I chose a painty background from the summer retreat and trimmed it to 3.5” x 3.5”.

Next, I die cut a second piece of Clarity stencil card using the 2.5” nested square die to create a frame. 

The frame was added to the topper.

I added 2026 in Versamark ink and gold embossing using the larger numbers from Barbara’s Months and Numbers stamp set, then the larger Happy in the same way.

To finish, the topper was added to a 4” x 4” white card blank.
