PPA186 Happy New Year

Happy New Year! I have loved the rest and relaxation I've had the past few days. After cleaning up from Christmas, I organized some of the places in the house that were long-neglected with all the activity during Christmas. I found the desktop in my studio!!

This week's Pals Paper Arts Challenge uses the colors Island Indigo, Gold and Whisper White. I hope you can see my Gold Foil paper--it's really hard to photograph!

I began with a Whisper White card stock base, then added a layer of Island Indigo card stock. On top of that, a layer of Gold Foil that I embossed using my Big Shot and the Modern Mosaic Embossing Folder.  

I used the Teeny Tiny Wishes sentiment by isolating each word using my VersaMark pen on Island Indigo card stock. I embossed each word with Whisper White embossing powder. I used the Mosaic punch to punch out the words and mounted them onto the Gold Foil using Stampin' Dimensionals. This card will be a "thank you" card for Christmas gifts received.

I hope your year has been fun and fantastic so far. I'd love for you to leave your comments below--I read each one!

I could make cards like this all. day. long.  They are so easy with coordinated products like the *new* Modern Mosaic Embossing Folder, *new* Mosiac Madness stamp set and *new* Mosaic punch from Stampin' Up's soon-to-be-released 2013-2014 Catalog! Think of the single colors or color combos you could come up with. Change your sentiment and you have a new design. Quick and easy! I used the *new* Baked Brown Sugar Ink for the color on my white on white card.
