S & S Challenge #245

Here I am with my last card of this year.  I'm looking forward to 2015 and, hopefully, spending more time in my craft room.  Here is my card for the OWH's Stars & Stamps Challenge #245


I started out with a sheet of paper that was part of a bundle of papers that I received as a gift.  That is the paper on the tag and the horizontal piece of paper is the reverse side of that designer paper. The background paper was another sheet in that bundle.  The circle was made by stamping a background stamp from SU and then stamping the sentiment on top.I then sponged Crumb Cake ink to age it a bit.    This idea was cased from my dear friend Carol  http://ourlittleinspirations.blogspot.com/2014/12/one-for-mom.html.  One can always learn something interesting from Carol.  The ribbon is Very Vanilla from SU! and I added a silver dot which at first I thought was a little big, but it started to grow on me, so it is staying.  I feel I could use as an Any Hero card or one for a Hero to send home.  I'll decide that after.  I wish each and every one of you a very Happy New Year.  I know it is a busy time and I thank you so much for taking the time to pop in for a visit.   See you soon (next year).
