Since this month is already marching on, thought I'd better get my card done and posted for the CAS Christmas Challenge. This month they are looking for the colors of red, white and kraft. This card looked so much better in my head. But it is what it is and they are made, so I'm going with it. Originally I wanted to use branches to hang my ornament from, but wasn't really liking how it was looking. So instead went with the flourish. Not sure I like that a whole lot better, but is better than the small branches I had. So this is how it turned out, again it looked better in my head. lol I embossed the ornament with clear embossing powder and used white embossing powder for the flourish.
Made 4 for my Christmas card stash.
Thank you for stopping by and visiting me, I know you are busy so it means a great deal to me that you stopped by. As always your comments make my day! Stay healthy, get those vaccines when available and keep wearing your mask when out and about. We can see the light at the end of the tunnel, so we want to keep moving forward to get to normal once again.
Crafty hugs,

I love this ornament and the flourish looks great. It is wonderful to be outside in the warm weather and sunshine. We've had it too but today is rain and yesterday was so windy. Won't be long now until great weather everyday and that we can all get back out and about
ReplyDeleteVery wet and wild weather here today but last week there was signs of Spring...so here's hoping x.
ReplyDeleteWonderful colour combination and great to make four cards for your Christmas stash Brenda x. The bauble looks so pretty and I am liking the white flourish too on your beautiful card x.
A super card, Brenda. I often have a design in my head and end up with something very different, but I love how this has turned out. xx
ReplyDeleteHi dear Brenda! You're a good girl blogging, I've been too busy and kind of slack.
ReplyDeleteAnd made five Christmas cards, to boot.. wow, is all I can say and well done you, and they're a lovely CAS design too!
Robin has gone home, just had msg yo say she'd arrived safely. Had an eventful trip home with roadworks, missed new turn off, etc. Life is never dull. We had the best yime ever! God was very hood to us.
Praying hard you keep well sis, some folks have had really bad reactions to Moderna and the other drugs they're using too. It's a really deep concern.
Thanks for sharing, and may God bless and keep you and all whom you love safe and well.
Prayer hugs, Shaz in Oz. X

Your cards are beautiful! We have been having temps in the upper 70's and low 80's. Hope it stays like that. I don't like the cold weather. And I am so looking forward to the time change.
ReplyDeleteHave a great day!

Perfect! and I love the dimension you've given those pretty Christmas baubles with your blending, Brenda!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy those temperatures... we've warmed a bit, but not to that degree!

I love your bauble, what a wonderful stamp, love the red in it and the background layer, love it with the Kraft, the flourish is perfect in white matching the white layer. I think you did a great job and beautiful too. AND more for the craft stash, excellent. As for the weather gale force winds, rain, hailstones, sun, feels quite mild, but the wind is cold. Apart from all that there have been bright occasions in the day hahaha.
ReplyDeleteKeep safe my friend

I sure can't see why you are unhappy with this. I think it's beautiful. And I may just have to have that ornament stamp. This is perfect for the challenge.
ReplyDeleteThat's a great set of cards you made for Christmas and I love the subtle red on the ornament! Beautiful design and congrats on making a whole set of cards already! I've made two so far this year LOL This latest bout of gorgeous warm weather has me wanting to be outside and not in the house anymore!
ReplyDeleteTake care and have a great weekend! Hugs!
This is a beautiful ornament, Brenda! I love how you colored it and I think it looks great hanging from the flourish!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea to use that delicate flourish, Brenda ... the ornament hanging from it is so wonderfully dimensional ... looks as though it's lit up! Enjoy all that lovely weather! Hugs, Anita :)
ReplyDeleteThese are so lovely! You are reminding me that I need to work on my Christmas stash again!
ReplyDeleteI love that bauble design, Brenda and I really like how the card turned out. Four more cards for the stash is a great result too. How nice to have such warm weather too - can't wait for it - I'm so done with cold and wet lol!
ReplyDeleteHope you are well.
Hugs
