Hi there. I'm so glad you stopped by!
This card came about from finding just the sentiment on a background
in my UFO (UnFinished Obects) box.
I can't find the stamp so I'm not sure where this sentiment came from, but it had been
stamped and heat embossed with a glittery embossing powder.
The ornament stamp was in my NBUS box where it had sat for far too long.
I think I bought it on clearance and I don't see that it's available anymore.
I stamped the ornament with VersaMark and heat embossed it with
white embossing powder then very carefully added a bit of watercolor.
I had to be very careful because it's Neenah cardstock, not watercolor paper.
I used ink smooshed into the lids and picked up with a damp waterbrush for color.
Then I even more carefully added a bit of wash around the ornament, used
a die to emboss a frame and glued on a silver bow.

The soft colors on the ornament are beautiful, Bonnie. Isn't it good to start using some of those UFOs to you, B&P (bits and pieces) to me?

ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful ornament card, Bonnie! This card reminds me of Grace Kelly. :-) Love the icy feeling! Your watercoloring and wash is simply gorgeous even on Neenah!

So subtle and so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThis bauble looks wonderful, as if I moved back to my childhood years. Moving the bauble a bit to the left from the center perfectly balances the sentiment. Beautiful card, Bonnie.
