Blogger Challenge: Week 236

***Scroll down to the post below to see my post for Bar's surprise retirement blog hop***

This week's blogger challenge theme is celebration. There are lots of ways you could go with this one, but I chose to go with the obvious one--New Year's Eve.

I made a super clean and simple card using the glass image from the Clear and Simple Stamps Taglines set along with a sentiment from the the limited edition Let's Celebrate set. The glass image is stamped repeatedly across a white card base. I purposely stamped the glass at varying angles so I didn't have to worry about being too exact about lining it up straight. I colored the glasses with Copic markers. Just one is covered with Glossy Accents and sprinkled with glitter.

The "it's a celebration" sentiment is stamped underneath the line of glasses, near the right edge of the card. After attaching a black cardstock strip below the images and sentiment, I ran a piece of yellow satin ribbon across the card, dressing it up with a little bow.

For more celebration-themed ideas, check out the list of links below. And, if you'd like to play along, add a direct link to your new creation using the linky tool below.

Materials Used:
Taglines and Let's Celebrate stamp sets, Perfect Little Black Dress ink, A Blanc Check and Perfect Little Black Dress cardstock, Copic markers (Y21, YR30, B0000), Say Yellow to All Your Fans satin ribbon (Clear and Simple Stamps); Dazzling Diamonds (Stampin' Up!); Glossy Accents (Ranger)
