5, 4, 3, 2, 1 ~ Hap E. Nuyear!!

And Happy What's On Your Workdesk? Wednesday (WOYWW)!  It's been a really fun year snooping at your desks on Wednesdays thanks to the blog hop posted faithfully by our esteemed leader, Ms. Julia Dunnit.  Thank you, Julia!  I wish you the bestest year!

Here's my desk where I've just finished a little something suitable for today.

I was planning to use my Washi tapes to make a Christmas tag and I never got around to it, so I made a tag for new year's celebrating instead.  I took a piece of scratch paper and folded it in half like we used to do to make snowflakes, remember, and I drew a champagne bottle and cut it out as a template.

It's so much easier to draw half of something.  Unless it's a paycheck, then you want to draw all of it.

So I traced my template onto black cardstock and cut it out.  Then I took my little champagne bottle tag and bedeckled and bedazzled it with pieces of Washi tape and wire, thus and such:

Then I made a card for my tag.  I used some of my gray striped Washi tape, a NBUS vellum sediment, and some gray brads and I created a little pocket for my tag to sit in.

I thought it would be fitting to have flashy exploding sequint stars electrifying the air.

And here is the tag snug in it's pocket, against a black backdrop so you can see it better.

Some of the stars look lovely midnight blue, but IRL they are silver.

I am playing in the current ColourQ Challenge, which is sporting this fabulous photo!

And in the "Bling It On" challenge just winding down over at Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge!
