I had so much fun making this card. I made one in silver and red; but, I liked it so much better in gold and white that I'll probably only upload this one.
I saw this awesome diecut from Kittie's gallery - I think we all know who Kittie is! She used it with a poinsettia and branches in the corner. I was going to use a poinsettia, but had used several so far, so thought I might choose to use gold embossed ornaments in the center with a strip of coordinating gold mirror cardstock and my ornament border punch.
I added the smaller of the cute and so easy to use bows from MFT Beautiful Bows with the gold cardstock also. Added sparkly white adhesives to the bow and ornaments. This card really has a sheen and a sparkle! I love how the diecut of the Merry Christmas done right on the panel shows with the gold b/g.
Thanks so much for taking a look and I have a couple other ideas up my sleeve for holiday cards although I need to get some b/day cards made. Hmmm......

Wowzer! What a beautiful (solid) gold card, Pamzi. I have been eyeing that Merry Christmas die and really need it....get out the old list and jot it down. :-) Your ornaments are beautiful and so is that bow...need it, too. Have a fabulous day, my friend.

Honest to goodness, Pam, you are the queen of Christmas cards (for early AND for beautiful). I love this one.....love that paper bow. I saw somewhere recently where Kittie's nickname is 'The Professor"....cute, huh?

...sure it�s got a catchy beat, but can you stamp to it?
life is something that happens only when you run out of cardstock

Pam this is an elegant stunner from you. I love the gold and white together. It really captivates the eye with the shiny pretty glow. How awesome this turned out. I would love to see the red and silver.....hint hint...lol

Om Gosh - I am in love! I hope you made one of these for me! I love it! You did a fabulous job on this - every element is just fantastic. No one does a gold card like you. I sure hope Benz doesn't try to get this one or you don't have it destined for a family member which trumps me!!! Maybe you can make more of them? Hope so!!! LOL! I love Benzi's snow village card she did this week too. The Christmas cards are so pretty this year - yours especially. Hugz - lots of them!!
