ACK!!! I'm late!!!! Challenge #3 is to make a SOMETHING based on your New Year Resolution!!!! Are you going to lose weight, then make a one layer card! Are you going to quite drinking alcohol (this is definitely not one of my resolutions) then make a card that isn't crooked!!! LOL!!!!!! That's funny, you have to admit that!!!! I don't make New Year Resolutions because I am NOT organized enough to keep them!!!! Since I CANNOT EVER keep a resolution, I have resolved myself to use some of the OLD stuff I have laying around!!!! My card is based on OLD stuff I have laying around!!! LOL!!! You can find all the challenge and AWESOME PRIZE details HERE! Here is my card ~
This is a really simple card ~ obviously!!! LOL!!! The base of this card is Whisper White with a mat of Basic Black and then a beautiful piece of decorative paper from Cosmo Cricket's Fleuriste line HERE! The ribbon is actually May Arts Twill ribbon. The image is from Inkadinkado and is called Nostalgia. I stamped the image 2 times on Whisper White cardstock and cut & embossed one of them using my square Nestabilities. I cut the butterfly out of the second image, colored it using a blender pen & Soft Sky ink and then added Opal Shimmerz and then mounted it on top of the first stamped image using a glue dot. I used my blender pen and Soft Sky ink and outlined the flourishes to add a little color. It is hard to see in my picture! I then matted the image on Basic Black cardstock and then used dimensionals to add it to the front of my card. I added some piercing at the base of the card using THIS pierceabilities die and then added a light blue crystal.
I'll be back soon with the 4th and final challenge!!!!

So very lovely! Your comments made me chuckle. Truth be known I'm not the best about sticking to resolutions either, but maybe this year...
Happy New Year!
