Here's my first post of 2016 - thank you to everyone who followed me in 2015 and I hope you will come visit me often in 2016!
I have had a very quiet Christmas and New Year - and I managed to make a few cards. Most have been CAS and some have been inspired by blogging friends and of course Pinterest! But as it's the first day of a new year instead of CAS I have chosen this to share -
So back to the card -
Basic cream card. Background paper is a piece I found in a drawer and used it because it was the right colour!
I printed the Photographic Studio image onto cream card then stamped the 'Movie Star' words on the top, added a metal diamond shaped brad in the centre and rubbed some Walnut Stain DI onto a clock hand (which was something else I found in a drawer!) and secured it with another brad.
I know Umbrella Man has been about for a long time but it was one that I didn't own so was pleased to unwrap it at Christmas! The film strip die cut and Umbrella Man were cut from textured black card. Quite pleased with it close up as it has a nice subtle sheen to it.
I stamped the 'Movie Star' Image onto cream card (I have had this rubber backed stamp for a long time and have no idea now which company it was from), then positioned the die cut film strip over it so that only her face showed. Coloured her lips red! (Kiss Kiss!!!!)
The tickets are of course from Graphic 45 and to finish it off I punched out some sparkly silver stars and added some black blingy gems to the middles.
Challenges - Crafters Cafe (Square Cards), Paper Creators Crafts (Anything Goes), ABC Challenge (Y for Your Choice), WWODTC (Anything Goes), Crafts Galore Encore (Anything Goes), Dies R Us (Something New ).
The sparkly stars and black card were left over bits so am popping across to the Playground to see if there's anyone still asleep after last nights very very late party!
Thanks for sharing a little of the first day of 2016 with me. Have a great day whatever you're doing! x

I love masculine cards and I love vintage, I find these two really hard to combine but you did a fantastic job!
Happy new year to you and yours!
First of all, Happy New Year Viv! I think this card is brilliant, so cleverly thought out and put together - I felt sad at the background story, sigh :( Love that you just coloured the movie star's lips for a pop of colour - works so well!
