Summery New Year's wishes

Here in New Zealand, we are currently mid-summer (not that you would know it most of the time!!).   The start of the New Year is with the sun shining brightly - hopefully the start of some better weather and a chance to get to the beach!!!

I am entering this card into the following challenges:

I have used a recent freebie paper from Trimgym for this card.  Love the bright cheerful colours.  The sentiment is from Delicious Doodles.  The image is from Sassy Studio Designs.  The colouring is done with copic markers E00, YR23, E18, E15, R17, R14 and faux stitching with Distress Marker - Mustard Seed.  I added some lace from my stash and used a Spellbinder Scallop Circle die for the image.
