Hi there. I'm so glad you stopped by!
When I saw the mood board at the latest Peace on Earth challenge, I knew it would be a
good opportunity to get this string of lights die out of my NBUS box.
The time almost got away from me, but I think I've managed to get this done in time
to join in with the challenge.
I cut the whole die out of white cardstock and again from a strip of gold. This set has some
separate bulb dies so I cut them out of snippets of foil cardstock.
I colored the cord with a marker and blender pen and glued the color foil bulbs to the
gold and onto the white base.
These little pine sprigs worked great to decorate each bulb. They were cut from a
snippet of light green cardstock and sponged with a darker green ink and layered
two sprigs on each bulb. Then I placed it all on an embossed background.
Challenges:
Peace on Earth Christmas #42 - ATG Christmas inspired by those shiny bulbs
NBUS #51 - Never Before Used Schtuff
ABC Christmas L & M - Lots of Layers (the light bulbs have 5 layers
Krafty Chicks - All Occasions (Christmas)

I love anything with the Christmas lights, but I especially like that you've added a tiny sprigs of evergreen to each light. Everything is perfect, from the embossing folder, to the lights and greenery, to the words. Love it all!
I love it when you reach into that box and pull out fun stuff like these lights! What a festive card, Bonnie!
I sure do love your Christmas card Bonnie -- very festive!

Love your card with those shiny Christmas bulbs. Great card.
I love the shine you get from cutting the bulbs from foil, Bonnie. I knew right away where your inspiration came from.

This is SUPER, Bonnie! Love that you cut the lights in colored foil. What a difference that made. How simple this is and yet what an impact it has. You'll have me shopping again!
Oh this card is just so festive with the mirror foil card! I love the colors, the shine, and those little pieces of pine sprigs. It all sits perfectly on the embossed background! Hugs, Brenda
This string of bulbs look terrific Bonnie and love the different coloured foil for the bulbs, and perfect with the added sprig of pine attached to each light, and the embossed background goes brilliantly. x
