Happy New Year 2013 - Guest Designer at Twisted Tues

Created this Clean & Simple (CAS) Happy New Year 2013 for my Guest Designer spot at Twisted Tuesday theme Blocks of Color with at least 3 different colors. Click here for more details on Twisted Tues challenge & to enter.

I used 3 different shades of blue. Used negative cuts of Sizzix Shadow Box Numbers for '2013' blocks. Used a Spellbinder for sentiment tag. Used a Stampin' Up sentiment.
Added glitter to edge of sentiment tag.


















adhesive: red tape - works well on glitter cardstock, foam
glitter - white - on edges of Spellbinder sentiment tag
ink:Stampabilities Royal Blue
paper: core'dinations Sapphire cardstock - base, 
glitter cardstock - dk blue, lt blue (looks almost white in photo but it is light blue) - texture
Sizzix: Shadow Box numbers 0,1,2,3 - used negative cuts for color blocks
Spellbinder: Nest Labels Twenty Three
Stampin' Up: New Year's stamp
