Gold & Aqua for New Years!

Gold & Aqua for New Years!

Hey crafty friends! Did you survive Christmas in one piece? Have you recovered yet? Lol. I hope you all had a marvelous holiday and are doing well. With New Years right around the the corner next week I figured I'd better get going on some crafty projects to celebrate 2015! This card was inspired by the AMAZING new paper collection from Teresa Collins that I bought at Joann's last week. It is soooo gorgeous - lots of gold with bright white and aqua. Bam. SO pretty. Then I saw Linda's beautiful card for the AAA Card Challenge and the theme is 'use a little gold' and a project was born!

Before I show you my card, I wanted to tell you to be sure to come by my blog next week - I have SO much going on. I'm in a huge blog hop on New Year's day (starts 9pm PST) and every blog has a prize package (I have two!) Also, I'll be doing my annual, year-end blog post, and celebrating my five year blogaversary! (YAY).

But for now, here is my New Years card!

The paper and the 'cheers' word are from Teresa Collins. The numbers and letters dies are from Papertrey Ink. I seem to always be drawn to these big numbers for my New Years cards - used them last year too! The numbers are cut from bright gold glitter paper!

I put a strip of vellum around my card and mounted the numbers on top of the vellum with foam tape. The star die is also from PTI!

PLEASE CLICK HERE to go to the AAA Cards and enter your card into the 'use a little gold' challenge! You have plenty of time - it just went live today! :-)
