Happy New Year

In between wrapping presents I sat down at my craft table and created my New Year's card.  I stopped by Tuesday Morning Sketches for my inspiration.

Stamps:  Adult Beverages (Simon Says); Warm Woolen Mittens (GKD)

Paper:  White, Black, Cherry Cobbler (SU)

DP:  Black & White (Paper Studio)

Ink:  silver (Stampabilities); Versafine

Accessories:  oval & scallop dies (Spellbinders); clear embossing powder (Stampendous); glitter (GKD); pearls (SU); Copic

Here is the sketch from Tuesday Morning ...

I stamped and embossed the glasses, added a touch of color with a Copic marker, put down some glue and glitter to make them festive.  Silver ink was added to the edges of the scalloped oval and sprinkled with clear embossing powder to match the glasses.  Happy New Year was also embossed to match the rest of the card. 

Thanks for stopping by and as always ... have a great day!

Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year to all!
