The Last Sparkle of the Year

I can not believe that it is New Year's Eve.  Where has the year gone?  I will be getting the last of my goals and challenges set for the year.  With that said, I hope you join me tomorrow to see what is in store for all of my wonderful ladies for the coming year!  I have a couple of new items that I would love to offer all of you - long distance AND local.

I want to share with you a card inspired by a wonderful lady, Sharon P., who requested some ideas for New Year's Eve cards.  I wanted it to be something that you could create in a snap.  I simply used a ruler and my hobby knife to cut the glass out of the top Night of Navy layer to reveal the Brushed silver layer beneath it.

I thought I was finished but my youngest daughter convinced me that it needed SPARKLE!  I simply outlined the glass with Multipurpose Liquid Glue and sprinkled Dazzling Diamonds on top of that.

I again realized that I did not have a sentiment, but found the perfect one in the Seasonal Sentiments set (Today is the LAST day to order this set!).  If I owned the set, I could simply ink up and stamp only the 'Happy New Year' portion (Omission by Marker technique). 

I did not own the set in clear or wood mount, but I had already purchased it for my MDS.  I still needed to omit the top portion of the sentiment.  I added a square punch to the page, clicked on the sides of the square and pulled them until the square was large enough to cover the top of the sentiment.  I filled the punch with Whisper White and VOILA! - Omission by MDS.

Thank you everyone for an amazing year and I wish the same for you in the year to come.
