This is my card for this weekÂ’s cc459. I am your hostess and I chose black, silver and white for our colors. Dessert is to make a celebration card. I decided to go with a New YearÂ’s card.
My bg paper is a silver metallic textured that I found in my stash. I layered it over some SU silver cardstock. The striped layer is some paper from BoBunny and to this layer I added a border die cut from Verve.
The sentiment layer is a stamp from MFT. I used my stamp-a-ma-jig for placement on 2 lines. I stamped the remainder of the sentiment on the inside.
It reads: and another chance for us to get it right.
I cut a flag pennant from a Spellbinders die in silver. The 2014 are black alphabet stickers from my stash.
Completed the card with some licorice bakers twine and used some of the circles from the border die on the sentiment panel.
Hope you can play along with us this week. You may be our next cc fave of the week.

A sophisticated and elegant color combo, Mary. Your card is lovely and has a well-balanced use of all the colors. The circles look like champagne bubbles. A very Happy New Year to you.
