OK, it's my first Friday since leaving the Delicious Doodles design team and I begged Teri to let me come back one more time as a Guest Designer so that I could do this card using her fabulous silhouette image, "Lovers." She said "yes," and here I am! The theme this week is "Let's Party" and I can't think of a bigger party than the one to start off the New Year every year. I hope we'll see you playing along.
This image is also fantastic for a wedding, engagement, or anniversary card. Or maybe a New Year's wedding? Just change out the sentiment. I printed the image, added some Stickles (Diamond) for a bit of glitz and sparkle, then double framed it with two negative die cuts, one black, one white.
The embossed paper is a leftover from another project (you'll see it next year) and I used my brand new embossing folder from Sizzix (which actually is flowers, not snowflakes, but I thought it made great flakes, too. :-D ) I have some wonderful new tools to use this year.
The silver ribbon was in my stash and the background dp was made by painting a scrap piece of paper with Royal Blue paint from Creative Inspirations and then adding snow to it with a white gel pen. The sentiment is also an image from Delicious Doodles and is a freebie on the Facebook page over there.
