HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Hello crafty peeps! Happy New Year to you all! I hope that your holidays were happy and filled with fun.

I didn't spend too much time in my craft cave, and now I'm feeling itchy to get back to crafting. LOL! That said, I've made a card:


 And the inside:

I severely depleted my Christmas card stash, so it's back to building that up again. ☺ The tree stamp (which I've had for a couple years, and only just now saw ink) is stamped in VersaMark and heat embossed using a glittery green embossing powder. It's hard to see head on, so here's an angled view:


I love how the tree sparkles! All that white space was making me itchy, so I used an embossing folder for some added texture in the corners. Then I colored some rhinestones gold using a marker and adhered them. (more sparkle!) The inside sentiment is stamped using gold ink.

So that's it until tomorrow. JUST US GIRLS has a new challenge starting up, so I hope you'll come and play along with us! Thanks for visiting, and I hope you have a great day!

    Embrace the white space, Chris! :D That being said, I do love the embellishments in the corners. And that tree! Can't believe you left it languishing until now.
