New Year's Challenge

Happy New Year!  Hard to believe it is already 2018.  With a new year come lots of resolutions and wishes.  At the Just For Fun blog we also have a new challenge. 

For January we have a color challenge  - Blue, Purple, Silver.

This inspiration card uses a background layer created with an embossing folder and various ink colors.  I have had this in my stash for a while, thinking I would use it for a birthday card, but it caught my eye and I kept thinking about the count down for New Year’s.  It was trimmed down and layered on dark blue and purple cardstock edged with Silver Blue Embossing Powder.

Just for Fun’s Skyline Silhouette and the May all your wishes... sentiment were both heat embossed with Silver Blue Embossing Powder on dark blue cardstock.  I used my new Tim Holtz Stamp Platform to make sure I had a fully stamped image for the silhouette before embossing, and to help me place the sentiment.  This was added to the card front.

Since I had kind of a rough December, my wish for this coming year is to be healthier.  What is your New Year’s resolution or wish?

Happy New Year

I hope you have had a wonderful time during the holidays.  I want to wish you a Happy New Year and share a card to go with.

This card uses Just For Fun  rubber stamp images.  Their New Year Frame is stamped in Distress Ink and cut  to surround the Celebration image of two champagne glasses.  The Fireworks image is stamped with Versamark ink on top of the frame and a glitter pen was then used to trace the Fireworks images.  A little sparkle was also added to two glasses and confetti streamers.

The dark blue background layer was also stamped with the Fireworks image, this time using Distress Ink.  Once again I traced the images with a glitter pen to give some wonderful sparkle.  I also ran the pen around the different layers.

Thank you for all your support and sweet comments in 2015.  I hope you will continue to visit for more inspiration throughout 2016!
