happy new year!!

 
stamps: teeny tiny sentiments from stampin up!, happy birthday from technique Tuesday
inks: memento (tuxedo black) ink pad, promarkers
cardstock: craftwork cards digi cardstock, black 4x6" card black, miri card (I used holographic)
dies: typeset alphabet bigz (stampin up! & sizzix) & the big shot from sizzix
 
this card takes a bit longer to make than it might seem as the background is created using a mini confetti stamp. I stamped it all over the background, leaving a slight halo around the sentiment, then coloured each piece of confetti using several promarkers. I die-cut the numbers in miri card, then in black so I could layer them up to give a shadow effect. I think this, plus their large size, gives them maxium impact on the card.
