Happy New Year 2012 The Friday Mashup #38

Winter took long enough, but on Tuesday it arrived with a vengeance - rain, turning to freezing rain, then snow, followed by rain, and then a flash freeze.  Wednesday I had to drive my son to work for 8 a.m. and it took me 1/2 hour just to scrape the ice off the car.  The roads were just terrible, but I made it to his work in the north end of the city back to my home in the south end, without incident.  More snow arrived Wednesday morning.  The New Year should look very different from Christmas Day, which was decidedly green (brown really).

Tomorrow is New Year's Eve, so let me take this moment and wish everyone a wonderful New Year's Eve and New Year's Day.  If you are travelling, please take care.

Which brings me to the Friday Mashup challenge this week.  It's all about the New Year and sparkle.....
  

1. Make a project that "Sparkles".

 Here is my card.  The dryer sheet technique was used as well as my favourite stamp set "Lovely as a Tree"

 

Stamps: Lovely as a Tree, Teeny Tiny wishes

Inks: Black Stazon, Basic Black

Papers: Night of Navy, Silver Glimmer, Whisper White

Accessories: Timeless Type Junior alphabet sizzlit die, Snowburst emobssing folder, Curly Label punch, Dazzling diamonds, Used dryer sheet (non SU), dimensionals

The dryer technique is a very easy technique, but the result is WOW!!  The picture doesn't do it justice.

Stamp image with Stazon ink.  Cover entire image with the Stampin' Up glue stick, apply the dryer sheet immediately and cover entire sheet with Dazzling diamonds.  Trim sheet and attach to the back of your card stock.  Be prepared to be covered with glitter.

Now you do the Mashup challenge.  Create your New Year sparkle card and upload it to the Friday Mashup home page here
