I had seen some wonderful cards made with Simon say Stamp Ornate Ornaments and oxides so I thought I would give it a go.

First I use a Clear Inkpad for embossing and watermarking and then used WOW Opaque White with the Ornate Ornaments and used various colours to make my baubles. In the end I cut out with the Dies about 12 baubles with one card making it to the bin and a couple I saved for later use.

In the end I made four cards three very similar and this one, I decided this was my favourite and to use it for this weeks challenge.

All baubles need something to hang from so I used the Simon says Stamp Pine Needles, I need to find an easier way to attach my gold thread round the branches. I few choice words and fingers covered in glue but luckily none on the card.

To cover up the ends of the needles I added some Holly and Berries using the Simon says Stamp Holly Fanfare. I did them in white so the colour of the baubles would stand out and the red berries.

Nearly forgot I run a bit of plain white card through the Big Shot with Simon says Stamp Wonky Rectangles and I also remember to stamp the sentiment first which was also in the stamp set.

The other ones I made I show later this week if I don't have a senior moment.
