Day 16 - Non Traditional Colours
... I confess, apart from Beccy's rainbow palette, I drew a blank for this prompt.
After a couple of Google searches, I was inspired to go with pink and gold.
This brought a second burst of inspiration my way, as I had created some pink & gold
cards last month HERE and the image is perfect for celebrating New Year too.
My Non-Traditional Colours are Pink and Gold.
This card uses the "Girl's Night" digital stamp set from the Beccy's Place Store.
I opened the image and sentiment in Silhouette Studio, I mirrored the image (to match the card it was inspired by) and designed them to fit neatly when matted on a 7" x 5" top folding card base. The image panel (and an extra cropped piece that included the "front" carnation flower) was printed on white textured cardstock then trimmed to size. I matted the panel on mulberry cardstock then trimmed to 1/16" border with a Perfect Layers Ruler. I made my card base from 300gsm smooth white cardstock, adhered a 7" x 5" panel of white textured cardstock on top, then adhered the matted image panel on top. I printed the sentiment strip on white textured cardstock, trimmed to size, matted with the same mulberry cardstock and trimmed the same as the image panel. I fussy cut the extra flower and went around the edges with a Memento Tuxedo Black Dual Tip Marker so there were no white edges showing. I punched two small circles, adhered them behind the flower, then "popped" the flower in place on the image panel. My foam dot supply is getting low and I only have thick ones, so the double layer of cardstock gives a nice subtle dimension. I decided to add the same dimension to the sentiment strip, so delved into my ever-growing stash-of-scraps and cut two little strips to adhere underneath, then popped the sentiment in place. Lucky last came the Wink of Stella Glitter Brush, I used it to add a luscious golden sparkle to the champagne.
Click on the image below to see the luscious sparkle,
you can almost hear the bubbles bursting.
I am in awe of the Clear Wink of Stellar Glitter Brush,
the sparkle looks like it's made of pure gold here,
yet when I use it over blue shades, it looks like silver.

My Happy New Year card was inspired by this birthday card I shared HERE last month.
... and here they are together
