Happy New Year !!!

Hello … Hello my friends and a Happy New Year to YOU!! I have been thinking about this first post and just the right things to say to you but, I am much better at coloring than communicating. I hope your  new year is off to a great start with some new beginnings and I wish for you only happiness.
Happy New Year
I also have to thank you for a year of wonderful support to me and my blog. It’s your warm fuzzy comments is what keeps me coming back and creating more. So a BIG THANK YOU TO YOU ALL!

Happy New Year

I just had to create another layer skirt for this fashion gal like I did in this post here. I layered “Labels 8” to create a double frame with dimensional foam. I stamped the sentiments with  aged mahogany on the outside of the frame and stitched the edge. The next layer is dry embossed. White dots for falling snow.

Happy New Year

I listed the copic colors below that I used on her face, arms and legs. For the skirt I used a different color distress ink for each layer then applied icicle stickles.
Stay tuned I have a color chart to share with you soon and a giveaway as well. Thanks again for a great year! Hugs, Kathy

    Happy New Year Kathy! I wish you only happiness too :-)Luv the nesties layering – looks like i’m looking at her through the Window! 🙂 Luv the second white nestie with Embossing! … and as usual, your white dots… Beautiful Snow Flurries! Sparkles on the fashionable gal’s skirt, and luv that you colored shadows under her heels! Stitching around it is a nice touch to this card! 🙂

    Absolutely stunning card = love the layers, until you did the side view I had no idea you done that! Love creating your own background with stamps – a fave thing of mine to do. Its stunning. and i suppose with a few changes you could make a christmas version of this as well. You are truly absolutely inspiring. Happy New year, Kathy.
