Eat, Drink & Be Merry Card

Happy New Year!  This is my favorite holiday!  All of the Christmas decorations have been packed away and my house is clean.  I love to craft and watch the Rose Parade.  The first challenge of the new year is up at Jingle Belles and I couldn't wait to make a card for it!  :)  The challenge is called "No Time Like The Presents" and calls for you to use wrapping paper on your creation.  My snowman on this card is from a roll I used to wrap presents this past Christmas.  I didn't use all the roll and it was the first one I grabbed for this challenge.  It has cute characters all eating something yummy (a snowman, a reindeer and a Santa) on done on a tan background.  I trimmed the snowman from the paper (and look out for a reindeer and Santa card later).  ;)  I found the perfect sentiment for the image (since he is eating a popsicle).  It is from a new stamp set I ordered from Scrapbook.com (Christmas Fun Card Sentiments).  The background was done by dry embossing a snowflake pattern and rubbing the raised snowflakes with Versamark.  Next I heat embossed with white powder before using Ken Oliver Colorburst powders.  I glued some star sequins and a bow for the finishing touch.  So I'm off and running getting ready for next Christmas!!!!!  ;)  Remember to stay crafty and Happy New Year!
