What fun challenges this week!! I loved the colors yesterday and the sketch that Korin designed looked fun and somewhat easy, so I had to play!!
I think Christmas is such a beautiful time of year not only because we Celebrate Christ's birth but because the ornaments and decorations are just so elegant and beautiful. With that in mind, I wanted to capture that elegance in today's card.

Oh my Chris! This is incredibly elegant and beautiful! The white/cream lined with gold gives it such a richness and I love how you added the lace trim...it's such a delicate design element and fits in perfectly with all the embossing.

Chris, this ornament card is exquisite!! Using the 2 different EF's and having your lace peek out from behind gives your delicate ornament a prominent look - just beautiful!!
