Good Tuesday morning my fellow stampers and HAPPY NEW YEAR’S EVE!! Does anyone have any fun plans for this evening? What does everyone do? Go out or stay in? I’m a stay in person. I grew up having New Year’s Eve parties at our house and inviting family and friends over. Tonight will be the 1st time, since I’ve gotten married 31 years ago, that we are having people over. My husband never did anything on New Years, so he never wanted to after we were married. Now I just have to make sure I can stay awake, that’s always a challenge for me lately.
For my last card of 2019 I made you a Clean and Simple one. I used one of my favorite sets from the Sale-A-Bration Catalog, which by the way starts in just 3 short days. I love stamping large images that I can color with my Stampin’ Blends Markers. Here’s my last card of the year for you.
My colors were inspired by Global Design Project Challenge #221. Here are their colors.
I played along with Inspire. Create. Challenge # 059 for my design with today’s card. Here is their sketch.
I started by embossing a Cherry Cobbler card front using the Brick & Mortar 3D Embossing Folder. I took my Stamping Sponge and lightly sponged over the card front using Early Espresso Ink to give it a little shading.
I stamped the large flower from the Stampin’ Up! Little Lady Bug Host Cling Stamp Set in Early Espresso Ink on a small panel of Whisper White Cardstock. I colored the image in using my Cherry Cobbler and Shaded Spruce Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the image out using the largest circle from the Stitched Shapes Dies. I stamped the sentiment from the Little Ladybug stamp set in Early Espresso Ink below the flower.
I adhered the artwork to the embossed card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue, letting it hang off the left side just a smidge and cut it even with the card front. I adhered the card front to a Cherry Cobbler card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few of the Shaded Spruce Holiday Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the artwork and card front.
On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Well Said Cling Stamp Set in Early Espresso Ink in the center of a Whisper White panel. I stamped the large flower image from the Little Ladybug stamp set in Early Espresso Ink, stamping off 5 times to get a real light image, on both sides of the panel. I adhered the Whisper White panel to an Early Espresso mat using Snail and then to the inside of the Cherry Cobbler card base using Multipurpose Liquid glue. I added a couple more Holiday Rhinestone Basic Jewels on either side of the sentiment to give a little extra bling.
To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope. I stamped the large flower image from the Little Ladybug stamp set once on the front of the envelope and twice on the envelope flap in Early Espresso Ink. I colored the flowers in using my Cherry Cobbler and Shaded Spruce Stampin’ Blends Markers.
Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you liked my card and will give it a try. Happy Stamping and have a Happy, Happy New Year!!!! Stay safe tonight with whatever plans you have and I will see you in 2020!!
