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

Love this! You do amazing work! This is a well thought out beautifully designed Christmas card. What a gorgeous bow you tied with that tulle... no easy feat as this is not the easiest stuff to work with! :-) I love that both the bulb and sentiment are tied into it! This is such a classy and charming card... just like all the work that you do!

Audrey, this is gorgeous. Love the details of the pine branches and the embossing of your ornament. All the gold details brings such elegance to an already beautiful card. Such a wonderful tribute to our Queen Julia
