Hi Everyone - hope you're having a great Saturday!
This card is for two challenges - the first is in celebration of this week QFTD - Queen Julia (aka Crafty Julia). Her gallery is filled with fun colorful and unique creations, and it didn't take me long to find one to CASE: { Julias Bright & fun Celebrate the Season Card } Thank you Julia for your inspiration and all your sweet comments.
I kept the basic ornament theme and sketch - used a different ornament, sentiment and ribbon.
This card is also for today's Inspiration Challenge - Stef shared a great website called Signals - which had lots of fun gift items. I chose this ornament as my inspiration: { Signals – Wlanut Wish Ornament }
To make this card I stamped and gold embossed then die cut the ornament. die cut and stamped the sentiment tag and assembled that to the Bow. Then I die cut the pine branches and twigs, sponged them a bit, embossed the second layer and put it all together with LOTS of glue & dimensionals!!
Thanks everyone for taking a look.
Hugs and Blessings,
Audrey

Gosh, Audrey, this is truly breathtaking. Everything from your beautiful tulle bow to the gold embossed ornament and all the fabulous branches. I love how you used the gold leaf pen. I've tried to use mine, but must not have a steady hand. Maybe you can show me your tricks when we get together again. I really, really LOVE this card twinzi! Hugs - Pam
