New Year Card

Good morning.  I had rather a sad and stressful few weeks coming up to Christmas and some of my Christmas cards just didn't make it to the post office I'm afraid. On the plus side it does mean that I am ahead on cards for Christmas 2019!  During the week between Christmas and New Year I made a couple of New Year cards for some friends who live a long way from us and whom we rarely see.

My Card

Recipe

6" square base card - Hobbycraft card stock

silver mirri and silver glitter card - Crafter's Companion

number dies - Spellbinders

large pennant die - The Works

small stitched pennant die - Sue Wilson 

star die -  Spellbinders

navy/silver spotted paper - Crafter's Companion "Decorative Christmas"pad

white ribbed card - Jelly Bean Crafts

sentiment - computer generated

I wanted to extend the large pennant so I die cut it twice in the two mediums and joined them behind the sentiment pennant.  This card came together so easily.  I knew in my mind exactly what I wanted to achieve - and it came out just as I had envisioned for once.

It was very difficult to photograph because the light was so bad. The spotted paper really is gorgeous in real life. The numbers look black but are in fact navy.  All in all it looks so much better than the picture shows.

Well that's it from me today.  Have a good day.

Take care.
