I've had an idea for a New Year's card in my mind for quite a few days and finally got something put together. I got inspiration for the Nesties Labels 1 and 2 panel layout from Pickletree's card that can be seen here: Peace Joy Love by PickleTree at Splitcoaststampers.
I guess this could be a "Going Green" card as I used some thick chipboard that was an insert for our dog's new Christmas sweatshirt. It had a lot of light blue (matching SU! Bordering Blue), so I cut out the numbers using the Provo Craft Red Tag Sale Number dies. I dabbed the front of the numbers on my Essential Glue pad and then sprinkled SU! Hologram Highlights embossing powder while wet and then heated it up to make it sparkle. I used the Nesties Tag, inked the Holidays & Wishes sentiment with StazOn Jet Black and heat embossed the Hologram Highlights embossing powder for more sparkle. While all panels and tags were in their frame, I sponged Bordering Blue around the edges to give a little more dimension. The number panel is popped up on dots. Trimmed with Silver Organdy ribbon, silver string beads, Martha Stewart's Branch punch, and a Spellbinders Snowflake transparency.
These cards are going to a couple of friends of mine that have had some bad luck and misfortune during 2008, so this will be my wish and hope that their 2009 year will be a much better year. TFL!!
