Ornament Pile Up...!

Hiya,

I absolutely love the Ornament Keepsakes stamp set (and dies of course!) in the Autumn/Winter catty, but I haven't played with them as much as I would have liked (that's going to change today and tomorrow as I have a class on Friday night using these goodies!!). I did get them inky for the Create with Connie & Mary sketch challenge this week though...


This card should come with an 'OTT' warning lol! I got a bit carried away with adding things...


See what I mean??! I started with some Cherry Cobbler Core'dinations card and embossed with the Lacy Brocade embossing folder then sanded and layered on Early Espresso card. The Very Vanilla panel was die cut with the new Oval Accent bigz die (coming on the 1st of October) and I added some faux stitching with a Crumb Cake marker. I used some Crumb Cake scalloped tulle to create a ruffled strip then wrapped a piece of lace trim around. I stamped one ornament in Gumball Green and painted with a bit of Champagne shimmer paint to add some sparkle. I stamped a smaller ornament with Soft Suede three times, folded each in half and adhered together to make a 3D ornament. The other ornament was die-cut from Candlelight Christmas dsp, with the top part cut from brushed gold card. The sentiment is from Perfect Punches, punched and layered with circle punches and sponged with Cherry Cobbler ink. I added a couple of seam binding bows to the largest ornaments to finish (couldn't help myself!!).

That's all for now... thanks for stopping by!
