Have a Super New Year!

It's Tuesday which is my day to share a project created for Topflight Stamps. I've been M.I.A. due to a long and nasty bout with Covid. I'm finally feeling well enough to get my posterior into my craft room and it felt great! However, I just found out that Saturday's dinner guest just came down with Covid and Strep! Let's keep our fingers crossed that my family doesn't get sick again!

This week's theme over at the Topflight Stamps blog is "Anything Goes".  I've created a slimline New Year's card with the Super Hero Clear Photopolymer Stamp Set by Pink Ink Designs, the Simply Radiant Stencil by Heffy Doodle, sentiments from both the Purrfect Day Clear Stamp Set and the Classic Sentiments Clear Stamp Set by Heffy Doodle, the Acetate Circle, Acetate Hills Masks, and Elements Inks by Lavinia Stamps.

Here's the card!
