Hello! I hope you had a wonderful Christmas with your family. Life is getting a little more back to normal at our house I think, the Christmas tree and decorations inside have all been put away. You might think it's a little early to do all that but you'll see why if you click here.
We have a new challenge today at Michelle Perkett Studio, it's all about celebrating the New Year!
For my card I used Sprout because she's a party girl, she's colored with Copic markers T5, T3, T2, R27, R24, R22, cut out and matted with Spellbinders Oval and Scalloped Oval dies. I also used Neenah Solar White, Neenah Red Linen and Basic Black cardstock. The polka dotted paper is a digital file for black and white polka dotted paper, I just used a sheet of Neenah Red Linen.
My card layout is pretty simple. I thought Sprout would work well with a Spellbinder's Oval die so I used that to cut her out and added the black scalloped mat to frame it. This combination didn't really "pop" when I put it on the polka dot panel so I measured the height and width of the ovals and cut a rectangle a little larger and matted it with black so it would show up well on the polka dot panel. I didn't think it looked quite finished so I grabbed a piece of black from my scraps by my paper cutter and slid it under the red panel and liked it so I started sticking it all together. I usually always lay all the pieces of my card out before I fasten it all down with double sided Scotch tape. I'm a tape fiend :) I hope my creative process makes sense!

Jan, love your card. I can understand taking your tree down, we use to have a cat that loved to sleep in ours. But somehow she never knocked it over. lol
He's a cutie - and ready to party! Love all the red and black. Wonderful card.
