I used the Stampin’ Up! Frosted Medallions stamp set to create a Happy New Year card for the Happy Stampers blog hop.  We’ve got a color challenge this week and here is the card that I created for it.

Here are the colors that we’re using this week:

The design for my card was inspired by Retrosketches #241.

I started by adhering a panel of the Fancy Frost Specialty DSP to a panel of Sweet Sugarplum card stock with SNAIL.  I adhered a wide strip of Sweet Sugarplum card stock to the DSP panel with SNAIL and then I added a wide strip of White Vellum over that, using SNAIL to adhere it in the areas that would be hidden under the tag and ribbon.

I wrapped a strand of the Sweet Sugarplum ribbon from the 3/8″ Glitter Ribbon Combo Pack around the panel and I tied a bow.  Then I adhered the layered panel to a Soft Sky card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals.  I punched a strip of Soft Sky card stock with the Scalloped Tag Topper Punch on one end and the Banner Triple Punch on the other and then I stamped the image from the Frosted Medallions stamp set in Soft Sky ink randomly over the tag.

I pulled a strand of Silver ribbon from the 3/8″ Glitter Ribbon Combo Pack through the top of the tag and tied it in place with a strand of Whisper White Baker’s Twine.  I adhered the tag to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.  I punched both ends of a strip of Whisper White card stock with the Banner Triple Punch and then stamped the sentiment from the Frosted Medallions stamp set in Sweet Sugarplum ink on the banner.

I adhered the banner to the tag on the card front with SNAIL and then added three Sweet Sugarplum enamel dots from the 2015-2017 Enamel Shapes pack to the tag to finish it.

I stamped the sentiment and medallions from the Frosted Medallions stamp set in Sweet Sugarplum and Soft Sky inks on a panel of Whisper White card stock inside the card.
