Cheers to a New Year!

Well 2013 is finally here! I couldn't think of a more fun way to spend my New Years Day than STAMPING! Hubby was at the driving range, so I headed up to the stamp room to have some fun of my own:)

I've been wanting to create something for this month's Guest Designer contest at MFT so that's what I started with. This month, the challenge is a sketch! Hey, you know me, I do love a good sketch;)


Here's my card, made with some pretty fitting stamps for the New Year;)


I inked up my beloved Martini's on Me a la Mode. I just love her and her giant martini glass:) I thought the sentiment, from Clearly Sentimental about New Beginnings, was just PERFECT for this card! That Oprah is a wise lady:)

You can also see I stamped a flourish along the edges of the image, just to add some fun! I saw Inge do this and thought it was a great idea:) I got this Flourish from the Finishing Flourishes set. I stamped off a couple times for a shadow effect. 
The papers I used are white, black, Paver Red, and the honeycomb pattern from some MME paper. I forget which line.  I also used some Paver Red ribbon and black buttons!

Well that's it from me for the day, I hope you and yours have a wonderful New Year!
