Happy New Year

Happy New Year!

Welcome to my blog!  I am celebrating the New Year with a sparkly card that I made with some beautiful shiny paper that was in a Hero Arts kit.  I thought it was perfect teamed with some Champagne in glasses stamped with Repeat Impressions Wine Series stamps.  I created the glasses with Silver Vellum, Versamark ink, and Silver EP and then fussy cut.  Added some bubbles with  Stardust pen.  Added a layer of Silver Mirror CS and Black card base.  I hope you see all the texture and shine in the photo.  The New Year stamp is an old one from my stash.
Challenges:
The House That Stamps Built: Challenge D2717 Anything Goes.  Happy New Year to all at THTSB.

Have a great day! I love reading your comments. Theresa

My card is filled with best wishes for everyone for 2016. 

I used a Happy stamp from Repeat Impressions, numbers from Martha Stewart alphabet set, and a Fireworks embossing folder from Darice to create the first card for 2016.  Other supplies are white CS, gold metallic CS, gold EP, clear EP, Versamark, Black ink and Sakura Clear Star pen.

Happy New Year

Hello!   Another rainy day!  Better to stay in and play with paper.  

I was playing  with some embossing to make a card for Stamp TV's Mix It Up Monday Challenge-Emboss is Boss.  I stamped the Cardinal from GKD's Peace and Joy with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and then embossed with Clear EP.  I like how clear embossing on black ink  looks and use it often rather than using black EP which can be messy.  I learned that tip from some of my stamping club friends.  After coloring with Copics, I added versamark to the Holly leaves and embossed with the Clear EP to give shine.  I used Versamark Pen on the uncolored berries and embossed with Red EP. If that was not enough embossing, I dry embossed the Pattern Paper that I used as a frame with Cuttlebug EF Gingham.  Sorry to say the embossing does not show up as well I'd like, but it is there. I also heat embossed the Peace and Joy Sentiment with Gold EP....this shows up well enough. 

Other Supplies: Neenah White CS, Pebbles Pattern Paper, Spellbinder Die, Wink of Stella, Misti.

I included this second photo to give another angle ( for some reason the left edge of the card shows a camera distortion that I could not straighten).
