Hi there. I'm so glad you stopped by!
I hope you are doing well.
Have you got your vaccination yet? Hubby & I have had our first and will get
our second next week.
For the Jingle Belles Challenge an inspiration photo.
I love the soft shade of the trees and all the ornaments.
This tree was die cut from some white glimmer paper.
To get the color I smooshed ink unto my palette and picked up
the color with a sponge dauber. I started with Bundled Sage then went
over it with Speckled Egg DOX ink. I chose a sentiment that reminded me of
the sign on the mantle, inking it with markers.
I used various dots, rhinestones and sequins to decorate the tree and
cut some presents out of alcohol inked yuppo paper in my stash.
To cut the presents I used a NBUS die that a sweet friend had sent me.
Thanks for the visit and special thanks for your comments.
Enjoy!

This is so very pretty Bonnie and O love the colour of your tree and how you achieved it.
Have that tree die and love what you did with it...giving it a whole new look by cutting from white glimmer paper and sponged with inks. Plus the assortment of embellishments for ornaments...clever!
This is absolutely beautiful. Love the sparkle. Great take on the photo. [Bunny]
I love those unconventional colors and the sparkly tree. Cute wonky presents under the tree. I'm so happy you have gotten your first shot and the second is not far behind. That's great news.
Gorgeous! I predict a WINNER!
Gosh, there are a lot of people getting vaccines! I seem to be hearing mixed messages here. We'll be lucky to get ours by the end of the month, but then last night I heard something about April on the news. I just don't know. Anyway, I just adore your whimsical Christmas card with those fun presents! The textured background is really nice, too!
OMG this is adorable, the colours and the glitter tree are perfect. Wow, wow, wow I love this xx
Wow Bonnie, I love how you were inspired by the photo! The pretty glittery tree and gorgeous coloured decorations, and those amazing presents! Love the texture too. Vicky x
Beautiful Bonnie, you captured the tree and all the gifts perfectly!
This is really a beautiful card. Happy to hear the good news about your shots. Jim and I are signed up...but, don't know when the vaccine will be avaiable. The time frame keeps chaning. I keep checking on it on the net. I hope it will be soon.
What a gorgeous sparkly tree Bonnie covered in beautiful gems and enamel dots, and love the pretty dimensional presents beneath it..great to use AI coloured pieces for them, and love the textured background too. x
your smooshed ink glitter tree is perfection ... we're so glad you were inspired by our Jingle Belles BoHo Christmas.
Love the non traditional colours Bonnie, your little tree and presents are so sweet :)
So glad to hear you're just about to get your second vaccination ♥
So beautful and sparkly Bonnie! The colour of the tree is just perfect and I love all the decorations. xx
Love the festive card. Very bright and colorful. Jill and I are still waiting for the state to get it's act together to get our first shot. They have not yet used half of the supply they have.
Hugs and Blessings,
Jim
What an amazing tree Bonnie - love your colour, and the fabulous sentiment to go with it.
Stay safe
Blessings

I am so very glad that you both have had your vaccinations Bonnie x. DH had his yesterday and hopefully mine soon....x. I would never have thought to colour the white glimmer paper and what a pretty effect it is. A beautiful card with wonderful attention to detail Bonnie x.
I just love how you've decorated your darling tree, Bonnie! and the sentiment is so perfect in all these colors!

What great colors, Bonnie and how wonderful to have alcohol ink pieces to match! I’m intrigued how you cut that tree without the center of it falling out. Love all that sparkle!
This is a delightful and very merry Christmas card. I love the ornaments.
My husband and I have had our first vaccine and get the second one the 25th of this month. There are still so many unknowns that we will continue to take cautionary means for a good while.

What a perfect take on the inspiration photo!! I love your tree and the way you coloured it and decorated it. And the pile of presents and the colour coordinated sentiment are wonderful.
You're right, those colors are very fun and you've CASEd it beautifully!
You NAILED the photo challenge!!! Such a gorgeous tree! Love all the sparkle and bling to decorate it.
Yay, to your first vaccine! It’ll be months before I get mine. 😆 Until then, I’m staying home away from people. 😂
What a fun and beautiful card Bonnie! I love the inspiration photo and love your take on it. Your tree is just beautiful, love all the baubles! The gifts are fabulous, a great die to have in one's stash. I love how you did your sentiment too, just like in the inspiration photo. This card turned out great! Hugs, Brenda
Your tree is gorgeous and this card makes me want to climb in and open those presents!
Those colours are beautiful, love your sparkly tree and once again your textured backdrop. I have two new embossing folders in my life and three coming from SU. I'm excited to put them to work.
Oh, I love this sparkly Christmas tree and the fun presents, Bonnie! How clever to smoosh glimmer paper! I didn’t even think of that. Wonderful embellishment definitely adds a festive feeling to the card!
