Bonus Challenge!!! Happy New Year!!!

I hope you have all recuperated from the New Years festivities, I managed to wake up to see the ball drop and then go to bed. I got caught up on some sleep  which was nice. We had an invite for dinner so I didn’t have to cook and oh was it good. Ham and scalloped potatoes so nice after 4 days of turkey. The Drunken Stampers is giving you  a bonus challenge The Tropical Hooters and the Yellow Canaries have teamed together to bring you a Happy New Year challenge, check out the rules at the Challenge blog.
My card is a Stella image from Bugaboo, as is the sentiment, they came as a pair. I coloured with my prismas and OMS.

I covered the glass with crystal effects, it’s not as easy as Jessi makes it look. The patterned paper is from a Dollar Store, it is heavy and very shiny the picture just doesn’t do it justice. Next the inside sentiment which is a continuation of the one on the front of the card.

I used a scrap of turquoise and of the patterned paper on the inside, bordered the sentiment in black.
I would like to enter this in the Anything Goes challenge at Catch the Bug challenge blog

Thanks for looking today and I hope you can find some time to join us at the Drunken Stampers for the Happy New Year Challenge.

  6. I hear you, Barbara -- no one uses gloss quite like Jessi does. :P Still looks great to me, and terrific colouring, too! Fun card for our challenge.

  8. Many can try to imitate, but few succeed....lol! Just kidding! I think it looks fabulous! My trick for getting into all the tiny spaces is to use a toothpick to push the gloss around rather than using the bottle. I don't know if that helps or not!
