Good Merry Monday morning.
We have a great challenge this week from Debbie.
This was actually the 2nd card I did.
I had a sheet of purple Origami paper that I decided to sacrifice use from my hoard.
It has a bit of a textured foil look. You can see on the solid ornament.
I stenciled a flourish to "hang" the ornament from by
sponging Encore silver metallic ink through the stencil.
I used the last bit of foil (it had ornaments cut from the middle) to
add a thin layer behind the design piece.
Here's the first card.
I had it all made and set to post then looked closer at the challenge.
Oops! That said silver not gold!
Fortunately I had just enough of that gorgeous purple paper to do
another card using silver.
I have used Stenciling, Stamping, Heat Embossing and Die-cuts
Happy Little Stampers Christmas Challenge
I hope you'll pull out your purple, silver and white and join us at
Merry Monday
Thanks for the visit and special thanks for your comments.
Enjoy!

Purple huh? Well.... now the wells are a'churning. No matter what I come up with it won't be as fabulous as these fancy pants purple ornaments!
Two beautiful cards, Bonnie, and LOL - you're like me, reading with my imagination and not my eyes. Love both the silver and the gold versions!
Now that is really bonnie, Bonnie !!
Both GORGEOUS cards. I miss words too, then can't understand later why the story isn't what I thought LOL.
So pretty Bonnie! love the flourish stamp you used for the 'branch'! Julia xx
Bonnie, such a beautiful ornament in that paper. Gorgeous card. Have a great week.
Two beautiful cards instead of one! Gorgeous baubles and I like the way you've used the scroll. Barbxx
Lol. At least you now have 2 stunning cards for your stash!
Both fabulous cards and had a little chuckle about the gold and silver...Easily done, I know from experience too x Loving the purple rich colour and excellent use of the special origami paper x
Absolutely Gorgeous, with a capital G!
Both are beautiful and so elegant looking! Can't decide if I like it better in the silver or the gold since they're both so lovely.

How fun to end up with 2 beautiful purple ornament cards instead of one. TFS for sharing them both my friend.
Gorgeous cards ... both in silver and gold. :) LOVE that purple foil paper --- no wonder you were hording it! :) xx
Ah! So very regal with the purple (a color I seldom think to use). It is most elegant as you've used on the ornament. I do like the look of the warmer gold, but it looks stunning in silver too. Brilliant idea to stencil the flourish hanger too..lovely design. I'm so glad you had enough of the paper to create a 2nd one that met the criteria. Two beauties for your 2016 Christmas Stash! TFS & Hugs
I Love that stunning flourish Bonnie, this is such an elegant card.
Good thing you looked closer, Bonnie...how embarrassing that could have been...lol! Both cards are beauties, of course! :)
I love the purple with both the silver and the gold - fabulous design and fabulous origami paper!
Wow, I love these cards Bonnie! That purple papers is amazing and oh so beautiful!!! Love that you stenciled the flourish to hang your ornament on and love the colors you chose. Just beautiful cards! Hugs, Brenda
Both this cards are amazing Bonnie, your "mistake" is gorgeous too.
Lucky you still had enough of this beautiful purple paper to make another ornament.
This challenge has my favorite color, I LOVE ALL SHADES OF PURPLE so, I'm going to get busy.

It's positively purpley gorgeous in both silver and gold, Bonnie! I love the design with the flourish from the stencil!! Funny that we both went retro with our posts, me with the mesh and you with the Origami paper. I've got a pack of that around here somewhere, too! Hugs, Darnell
Bonnie, This is absolutely gorgeous... just stunning! I love the design, and you chose the perfect card to sacrifice that origami paper. And, thanks for the kind words you left when visiting my blog. :)
A gorgeous CAS card Bonnie, a beautiful design with the bronze image along with the beautiful sentimet!!

Both versions are gorgeous, Bonnie! Love the creativity of using the flourish for your branch!
Those ornaments are awesome, I too cut mine from the middle of my purple paper. I am so glad others make booboos, I have done it twice now on a DT forgot the stash item, note to self read FIRST. Your cards are gorgeous in both silver and gold.
Stunning!
So beautiful, Bonnie! What awesome paper you used for the ornament! Have a great day!
Beautiful, Bonnie - just love that shiny purple ornament! Hope you're having a super weekend :)
It always pays to be wearing glasses I find! Both are lovely and now you have one extra for your stash. The purple paper is gorgeous, I'm not surprised you wanted to hang on to it.
So pretty, I love all the shimmer and shine.
