Hi there. I'm so glad you stopped by!
I'm excited to be Guest Designing for 52 Christmas Card Throwdown!
To get my deep purple, I die cut the ornament from Gorgeous Grape cardstock,
smooshed it on my VersaMark pad, sprinkled clear powder and heat embossed.
I also used it around the edge of another piece of cardstock and embossed to use
as a piece of matting.
The sentiment is embossed with gold.
How would you use these colors?
I hope you'll join in at 52 Christmas Card Throwdown.

What a stunning, rich, elegant looking Christmas card Bonnie! I don't know why, but deep purple reminds me of one of the Wise Men that visited Jesus. It say's money to me. lol I love this card and these color combo's! Gold is rich and of course remind me of the Wise Men as well. Perfect colors for Christmas! That ornament is gorgeous and I am so loving the embossed background. Hugs, Brenda

ReplyDeleteWOW! Great card, Bonnie. Wonderful colors, a beautiful combination, very elegant. Thank you for telling me how to make a frame without using the entire panel. I have not thought of such a clever solution. Thank you :-))
