We’re back with the July Lunar New Year Challenge! The Year of the Dragon ended on January 28th. The Year of the Snake started on January 29th and runs through February 16, 2026. Make sure you check the challenge blog for the prizes up for grabs this month!
For today’s new challenge post, I went with a New Year | Celebration theme:

My project features the following products:
- Altenew – Craft Your Life Project Kit: Translucent Foliage
- Altenew – Joyous Sentiments | stamps + die
We have awesome sponsors this month! Lawn Fawn, Altenew, RAM Stamps and Trinity Stamps are Sponsors, make sure you check out the main post for all the details!

This floral set is gorgeous. I stamped it on watercolor paper and used the stencils to color in the blooms:
- Distress Oxide – Candied Apple
- Distress Oxide – Barn Door
I stenciled in the color for the leaves with:
- Distress Oxide – Pumice Stone
The sentiment has been heat embossed in gold. Do you notice the centers of the blooms? I used a gold paint pen for that!

I can’t wait to see how my teamies were inspired, check out today’s post HERE
