Can you believe Christmas is one week away? I really am working on wrapping up the last of the Christmas projects, although honestly I seem to be constantly adding more, and starting to think about what's next. For this weeks Paper Craft Crew sketch challenge I decided to do a fun New Years card, which is perfect since we're going to a friends to ring in the new year so I'll need a card for the occasion.
I started with Crumb Cake cardstock for the cardbase and then added a piece of Night of Navy cardstock as a mat for the Cherry Cobbler cardfront. On the card front I added the brick pattern by coloring some Embossing Paste with Crumb Cake Reinker and then using the Palette Knives and Pattern Party Decorative Masks to create this fun effect.
Next I added a piece of Wrapped in Plaid Speciality Designer Series Paper as well as an oval cut out of Gold Foil using the Layering Ovals Dies (honestly I have a stack of these gold ovals on my desk from another project I was working on so this works perfectly!)
The greeting is from the Cheers to That stamp set and was stamped in Night of Navy and Cherry Cobbler ink on Whisper White cardstock before cutting it out with the same dies and attaching it to the cardfront with dimensionals. To finish off the card I added some Rhinestones and then a fun star cut from the same Gold Foil and the Stitched Stars dies (I used a Mini Dimensional in the center of the star to add a little extra dimension).
This card has lots of fun textures, and just the right amount of sparkle and bling to help ring in the new year. Make sure to check out all the other cards the design team is sharing for inspiration and we would love for you to play along with us and share what you create using this sketch (remember you have 2 weeks to play along with us, so plenty of time!!)
