Hello friends!
Tonight we ring in a new year! Yeah!
I think a perfect way to start the new years is to share with you all
my favorite vintage new years card!
I printed this card on cardstock and created this sweet wall hanging around it!
A piece of black chipboard is my background,
which I then started adding layers upon.
A fun way to add more fun and whimsy to a piece, especially when working with dark colors, is to take a white gel pen and out line everything with little lines to make it look like faux stitches!
This Signo White gel pen is the best gel pen I have ever used! It always writes nice and smooth! I definitely recommend getting the Signo brand!
This wall hanging is now in the etsy shop!
We wish you all a wonderful New Year's Eve!
Lindsey and Twyla
This is so cute! I didn't realize it was nearly New Years until I read this post. I pray your new year is wonderful! Thanks for the sweet Sugar Kissed Christmas and all the cards you have shared. xoxo
