Happy New Year!

Good morning everyone!

I hope your holidays were wonderful

and you all have a 

Happy Healthy New Year!

Today I want to show you the card I made for our next challenge over at 

Treasured Times.

The stamp is 

Happy New Year Girl by Erica Nicomedi.

You may have seen this stamp already,

One of the cards I made for our release party last month was with this stamp.

If you didn't see it you can go HERE to see my post.

I colored the stamp with Spectrum Noir markers and a few metallic gel pens.

I then fussy cut the stamp and used pop dots for dimension. 

The glitter paper is a little piece of an old notebook cover from my daughter.

The background paper is from Gecko Galz.

The Blue Willow paper pkg.

Below you can see a close up of my fussy cutting.

Bluish Christmas card...

Good morning everyone!

Today I want to show you another couple of my Christmas tag/envelop cards!

The grey flocked paper and blue ribbon is from my stash.

These cute little girl images are from the Christmas Children collage set and from Gecko Galz.

I printed them in two sizes.

The blue background papers are also from Gecko Galz, the Winter Wonderland paper pkg.

Above is a look at them side by side.

Below...card #2

I fussy cut a snowflake from the flocked paper and pop dotted it on the envelop.

On all the papers, both cards, I added a bit of pearl paint dabber to the edges.

The snowman image is from the Frosty collage set and the "25" ticket is from the Altered Christmas collage set at Gecko Galz.

The music note tag is from Heather Hudson's collage set, here.

Below...a side by side.....
