A Kept Life: Happy New Year!

Do you have any big plans for New Year's Eve? With the cold snap we had this week I expect alot of us will be staying home. That's not a bad deal.. spending a little time with your family!

Today I'm sharing two cards that look very similar - I've switched up the technique on them. Can you tell that one is a little brighter colored than the other? The softer of the two has a frosty coat of glitter over the top. I wish you could see that shine!!

Both cards start with the Waffle Flower Brush Lettered New Year die cut inside a large stitched circle from the Lacy Circles Set. You place one die inside the other and cut them at the same time.

Next I cut the same circle from white cardstock and applied Distress Ink in rainbow colors. I adhered the fussy cut die over the inky circle so the color peeks through. I cut the New Year die again from black cardstock and inlayed the Happy New Year sentiment.

To add glitter like I did on the blue version of the card I added a panel of double sided adhesive and then glitter over the inky panel before adding the detailed die cut. The largest Lacy Circle makes the perfect frame for the new year sentiment.
