Hello Crafty Friends and welcome! It's our last Designer Challenge for 2024 and this year we are celebrating with a Happy New Year theme!!
For my card, I created a New Years fireworks display over a sailboat on a lake! What a fantastic way to ring in the New Year!
I started by making the card base, which is a 5 x 7 side fold card. I cut a rectangle 5x7 from smooth black cardstock, then cut a second rectangle 5x7.5. I scored this rectangle at the 7" mark, leaving a 1/2 in tab to attach to the other panel.
I then cut two more rectangles from smooth white cardstock, 1/8" smaller than my card base. Using Distress Oxide Ink in Salty Ocean, Chipped Sapphire and Black Soot as well as MFT's Perfect Pool Water stencil, I created my lake background. I added two strips of pattern paper and gold paper down the sides of my card.
I built my boat using Karen Burniston's Boat Pop-up as well as the Sailboat Add-On and Pirate Ship Add-On. I added embossing powder to the sails in black and gold.
I used acetate pieces to the backs of the sails to add the fireworks which came from Karen Burnsiton's Fireworks die set. I die cut these from various colors of glitter cardstock.
Lastly I added a place to sign the card. This came from the Paper Frames Pop-Up die set.

ReplyDeleteReminds me of watching fireworks from the water once
ReplyDeleteI’m in San Diego so there are fireworks over the water. Great card, I love seeing the different ways the team combines different dies.
ReplyDeleteLove this card. How cool to use the sailboat. That’s a die on my bucket list. But first I need to downsize other companies dies that I don’t use, that will be my New Years resolution for 2025.
