The hardest part of my card was taking a picture of it, lol. With all the metallic/mirror finish card stock and glittery bling, my camera really wigged out on most of the pics. I don’t usually do a lot of glittery metallics, but New Year’s is a perfect time to bring on the bling! And it was a lot fun, as well. All of the glittery fronds, the ribbon and even the houndstooth mirror card stock came from the Christmas clearance isles at Michael’s. The silver card stock for the butterfly and sentiment is a recycled/repurposed foil lid from a container. I stamped them with Stazon and on the butterfly, added a touch of color with some Sharpies. It was cut with the matching butterfly die available only at ODBD.
On the sentiment, I used a Spellbinders circle die and my brand new Grand Calibur. What a wonderful machine! I added the fronds and a bow then arranged the layers on a lavender 5.5 x 4.25 card.
From here, hop on over to Angie’s Blog. I know she’ll have something wonderful for you! Thanks for stopping by and have a Blessed and Prosperous New Year!

Wow – so much purple-y bling done up so beautifully!
i am loving the butterfly and the color—my favorite cousin is a butterfly fanatic so i hope the girls of the blog do not mind that i will be using their ideas.
This is definitely a unique card and the colors are very vivid & vibrant. Great job!
I love the card, color and sentiment, but what I like the best is the different mediums that you use. Most sites use ‘just’ their products. I use anything and everything in my cupboards. Good job
Lovely-purple is such a colour of hope.
Julie- Oh, I love all the purple and all that glitz! Beautiful card!
Love the butterflies and all the glam. You’re right, what a better way to start a new year than with some sparkle. Let’s hope the year brings lots of sparkle for everybody!
Julie this is so amazing! I LOVE all the sparkle! Perfect! Happy New Year!
How beautiful! I love all the sparkle and shine. This butterfly and die are really neat, and they look wonderful in silver and purple. TFS!
Very nice. I love holographic papet although they are h ard to find. I really like glossy also but not especially glittered paper. t is so hard to glue to or so it seems. Beautiful work.
The card is so Beautiful. Love the colors.

Beautiful card. I always check out Michael’s clearance but missed the houndstooth stamp. That looks great.
This is so beautiful.
Very pretty…I really like the metallic & the fact that you used a recycled lid!
This is so beautiful – what a wonderful start to a new year !
I love the butterfly but even more I love the scripture.
It is a reminder to me that the work in us is not done in a day or a month or even a year, but that God in his grace does it in HIS own time. What a nice thought on January 1
