Hello,
Cindy here to share a New Year card, inspired by this month’s challenge theme: Make It Pop! I made for you an easel card. Let’s take a look.
To create the pointy shape part of my card I used one of the ornament dies from the Ornament Infinity Dies set and did partial die cut (left one in photo below). For my pink bow tie, I select a smaller die from the same set (right one in photo below).
Here’s the back view.
I could have just die cut the ornament and glue to the card, but I think this is more elegant. I die cut both the card base and my pattern paper the same way. So I could sandwich the sparkly candles in between the two layers.
The ‘cheers’ are comprised for three layers of card stock and top with glitter card stock. Champagne bottles and party hat are heat embossed and watercolored. The year are stickers, but I outlined it with a white gel pen to make it stands out more.
This would be my last a2z dt project of 2017. So I think it is a good time wish you all a wonderful holiday season and a happy 2018. See you in the new year!!

I love the bow tie and I never would have thought to use the ornament for a bow tie, but now I’m thinking ummm mustache? Love the creative way you think and the card is just so wonderful and cheery.
