Cheers to a New Year!

I'm finally getting back in the swing of things after all the hullabaloo of Christmas prep and the holidays. I hadn't made any cards in so long {at least it seems that way} so I'm slowly working on getting my MOJO back.

Here's another CAS card for the Freshly Made Sketch using the Color Q colors!!


Kept true to the sketch and colors.... sometimes when you haven't stamped in a long time... it's good to have structure. The banners were die cut with MFT Flag Stax- the gray banners were stamped with images from MFT MPD Distressed back grounds using a glue pad and then sprinkled with glitter. To make the white diamond banner I used MFT MPD Graduated Diamonds stencil and sprayed with Heidi Swapp gold mist. Adding some stitching and a sentiment from a retired MFT set that had never been inked.



Hope you're having a great WE and if you are in the path of snow.... hope you are keeping warm!!

Thanks for stopping by!! Love when you do and appreciate all the kind words!!

    Elegant and fun--is that possible? I love the silver and embossed sentiment, and your banners are all so cool--love the patterns you stamped and your funky stitching.
