Happy New Year - Sparkle and Shine

Happy New Year!! When I first started stamping long ago two things have always impressed me the most which is embossing with powders and shaker cards.  Therefore, I decided to make another card with the Simon Says December Kit and enter this into the Simon Says Wednesday Challenge. This week is "Anything Goes" and will run for 2 weeks.

I must say that I really like this color combination of blues together Sea Glass and Soft Navy card stock against the Silver Matte Metallic (Bazzill) which was included in the kit. 

For the stitched circle, I used MFT Blueprint 12 and to get the stitched look on the metallic, I used Blueprints 13. I noticed that since I changed the way I store my dies now, I use them much more and easy to select dies that I'm looking for.

Again, Happy New Year
