Welcome to 2015!
I am getting back into the groove of making cards again and needed a Happy New Year card.
I like how this turned out although the camera can't do the silver embossing powder justice. Very hard to capture the true shine on film. Good, easy card to mail as well.
I began by stamping the outside edges. First, I ran the edges of my card front against my Versamark pad and heat embossed it with silver powder. Next, I stamped the edges with a Grunge stamp from Kaiser around the edges.
I wanted the card to be a celebration so I randomly stamped the stars from Impression Obsession around the edges but it needed more so I took my pencil eraser and created the dots to look like confetti. Again, all were stamped with Versamark and embossed with silver powder.
Last, I stamped the sentiment from Paper Smooches in the center.
Adding my card to these challenges:
Little Red Wagon- HAPPY NEW YEAR
Simon Says- ANYTHING GOES
Virginia's View- CLEAN SLATE
Card Mania- MAKE IT SPARKLE
Sisters of Craft- ANYTHING GOES

Such a gorgeous card Karen. I like it very much. Thanks for joining us in Card Mania Challenges
Great card. It definitely feels very celebratory. I haven't used a pencil eraser for polka dots in ages!
