I always love the sketches they have on their site because of the simplicity! This one took me just a few scraps of designer paper, some rhinestones and my embossed image.
I wanted my ornament to be multi-colored so I inked it up with VersaMark and then sprinkled Melon Mambo Embossing Powder over it lightly and then filled in the spaces with Wild Wasabi Embossing Powder. I love the result! It was a little too "clean" for me, so I got out my Color Spritzer to add a little bit of color to the background.Stamp Sets: More Merry Messages, Ornament Keepsakes

Love that layout, and how you added the sprinkles of ink and rhinestones! I might have to go play along with that one. Thanks for joining the Friday Mashup this week.
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet sweet card. The non-traditional but TOTALLY hot Christmas colors are just fab and the little touches of bling add the perfect accent. Hehehe I have to laugh about your wee grumbles. I agree with you about 'winter' break; when I was growing up we definitely called it Christmas break and I do not favor the newfangled bland saying. The 'happy' Christmas sentiment is more of a recent (1940s) British/Canadian/Australian saying (although the old poem Twas the Night Before Christmas used Happy Christmas and that was written in the early 1800s by a New Yorker). I have a few international friends that I send Christmas cards to and I am very glad that I have a Happy Christmas stamp in my stash LOL. Otherwise I'm with you and use Merry.
ReplyDeleteSuper cute - love the fun colours you've used and the fabulous layout! Thanks for sharing with us at The Friday Mashup!
