Christmas Ornaments

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

Playing with a special stencil...


I used tape to block off areas that I didn't want inked (I'm very messy with my inking)
and did one color bow at a time.  I did the same thing for the ornaments.

The gold ornaments were inked with Encore Gold ink and heat embossed.
I added VersaMark through the stencil on the red ornament and bows.  Then I heat 
embossed them with clear powder to get the shine.

The greenery was sponged through a stencil made with a die.

The design was matted on a piece of matte gold foil leaving a thin frame
then placed on a piece of embossed cardstock.

This is a large stencil so my card is an A7 sized.

  17. Beautiful Bonnie, you coloured the individual baubles so beautifully. I see you got Lumberjack plaid red- is it a real red?

  24. This is such a pretty ornament card, Bonnie! I love the shiny baubles and the bows. It must have required a lot of care and attention to make the images stamped and heat-embossed so cleanly! The gold matte and the dry embossing on the card base are wonderful touches too.
