Hi there. I'm so glad you stopped by!
We are having a taste of Fall here in central NC.
And that means that Christmas is right around the corner!
Time to "get 'em done"!
I used a retired embossing folder and die for the pine branches here, coloring both
with a sponge dauber and two shades of green ink.
My favorite ornament was die cut and a glittery snowflake popped on top
adds some sparkle to the shine.
Challenges:
CAS Christmas - Sparkle and/or Shine: I have both here.

What better way to show off that gorgeous gold ornament than hanging it on pine branches. So beautiful, Bonnie.

Fall is here too and I can't believe how fast this year has gone. Your ornament is just gorgeous and looks wonderful nestled among the pine branches.
ReplyDeleteLOVE the soft colours on your embossed pine boughs background Bonnie! The ornament is so beautiful and elegant. Love the sparkly snowflake in the center. xx
ReplyDeleteLove your embossed and die cut pine boughs for the background of your Stunning die cut ornament with the glittery die cut snowflake...Wow! You are the Queen of die cut card designs, Bonnie. Love and Hugs..Nancy
ReplyDeleteYes, it's time and I'm trying. Trouble is I keep throwing out some I made earlier because now I don't like them. I doubt you have any of those because this is a lovely example of how gorgeous all of your Christmas cards are. Love the embossed background with the additional branch die cut. The ornament is exquisite!
ReplyDeleteI really like the soft sage-y green you've paired with the gold! Pretty card, Bonnie!
ReplyDeleteA beautiful card Bonnie. Really like the delicate green with the gold. x
ReplyDeleteBeautiful ornament Bonnie, love the pine sprig diecut with the embossed ones, this year certainly has flown by! Cathy x
ReplyDeleteGorgeous ornament Bonnie and love the little greenery sprigs :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful take on the Peace on Earth mood board. Love those soft coloured pine branches and the contrast with the rich gold of the ornament. I'm wearing two different Design Team hats here - thanks so much for joining in with Peace on Earth and with CAS Christmas.
ReplyDeleteThis is stunning, Bonnie! There are a lot of sparkly and shiny elements on this card, and I especially love the sparkly snowflake on the shiny gold ornament! The coordinated light greens of the pine branches and the matte are so pretty. I'm always happy to see your cards in the CAS Christmas gallery, my friend!
