I was beginning to think I wouldn't make it at all.
My friend Colleen chose a beautiful inspiration photo for this week's
Merry Monday Challenge
I used blue, green and platinum Inka Gold on my craft sheet, spritzed with water and
smooshed some cardstock into it.
It has a lovely shimmer that I couldn't capture in the photo.
I did cut some ornaments adding silver caps and hangers. The snowflakes, sentiment and
embossed background were all in my UFO box.
I'm happy to say that the Christmas UFO box is no longer popping it's top!
I asked for opinions on adding a red bird to my CAS Mix Up post.
I like it with the bird. It's hard for me to go against a pop of red!
Thanks for the visit and special thanks for your comments.
Enjoy!

So glad you found the time to make a card for the MM challenge as it's BEAUTIFUL Bonnie!! Your ornaments steal the show and I can imagine the shimmer that must be there IRL! Love the embossed background too! And glad to hear your UFO box is not popping it's lid any longer!! Thanks so much for joining us at Merry Monday!! :0)
Beautiful card! Love your ornaments. I almost used that same EF.
I love this card - especially the white glittery 'peace'. Fabulous!
Your ornaments are SO pretty, Bonnie. Love this color combination and the simplicity of the design. They are perfect on the embossed background!
Super pretty Bonnie! Those ornaments are gorgeous!! Thanks for playing with us at Merry Monday.
Love your pretty smooshed ornaments. A lovely card. Thanks for joining us at Merry Monday.
Gorgeous pair of ornaments, Bonnie, & I love the embossed background!!
so pretty, love the soft colours :)
Your ornaments are so pretty. Love the colours and that little bit of added sparkle with the glittery snowflake centers. Love both versions of your last card ... with or without the red, the background really shines with that design. xx
Beautiful shimmery and glittery ornaments, Bonnie. Love the colors with the silver and your dry eb background. TFS my friend. Happy Holidays. Hugs
So elegant and so very pretty. The white dry embossing sets off those baubles beautifully x
Such a sweet Christmas card, Bonnie! I love shiny stars on baubles. It looks great!
Hugs,

I came in pretty close to the wire for Merry Monday too! So glad you made a card as those smooshed ornaments are lovely!
I can see the glitter on the snowflakes and sentiment and it's beautiful so I can imagine the shimmer on the ornaments is even more so, Bonnie. It's nice when leftover pieces fall together like this.
Fun card, and I love your sparkly sentiment!
The shimmer does show quite nicely, and those icy colors look beautiful on the ornaments. I like the sparkle of the peace sentiment- and perfect E/F to complement the design. TFS & Hugs (Starlit order came this afternoon!)
Awesome design Bonnie, the embossed background, glitter letters and ornaments are lovely.
Hugs Diane
Stunning card! Love the gorgeous baubles! xxx
Your ornaments are so pretty with smooshed technique, Bonnie! The dazzling diamonds glimmer sentiment on the snowflake background has an elegant white on white effect. Hideko
Beautiful card! Thank you for sharing the details.
The blue and green baubles go beautifully over the top of the embossed snowflake background Bonnie and are a great CASE of the inspiration photo. I love the white glitter card die cut sentiment too, and how satisfying to use up some bits from your Christmas UFO box. x
beautiful card....
