I am sure that from my title you are thinking I have really gotten ahead of myself. This card was sort of an accident. I was going to make a card with the Season of Whimsy set and it just sort of evolved in my mind as I was looking at the set. So I have made probably the first New Year card of anyone.
Season of Whimsy, 144978
So do you think I am crazy? I hope you can see how this would evolve from a Christmas card into a New Years card. I really do love that sparkler.
COLOR COMBINATION:
The colors came from me choosing the ones for the Christmas ornaments. I was playing around with the new Stampin’ Blends and ended with these colors. So then I just added the same colors for the base and layer. The sparkler is heat embossed in Smoky Slate and then I added the metallic shapes to give it a little more bling.
This is definitely a little wacky, but I like the outcome. I very much appreciate you stopping by today and I would love to hear your thoughts on this unusual card!

Jackie, I know you’re crazy, crazy like a fox. Why not a New Year’s card? I say as long as it’s as pretty as this one go for it. Plus I’ve fallen head over heels for Smoky Slate recently. It really plays well with most colors. You definitely nailed the whimsy with this card. Great use of the new Blends too.
I love it, Jackie! Such a fun card with great colors! <3
