Hi everyone. Time for a new challenge - CAS Christmas August Challenge, which is hosted by the lovely Cathy (Cathy's Card Spot).
To add even more sparkle, I used some glitter paste (Silver Chrome - Cosmic Shimmer). I love this pale silver that looks so pretty through the Speckles stencil (Kaisercraft - retired). To finish, I stamped a small sentiment in black ink (Merriest - Avery Elle - retired) and added a silver hanger. Black sponge ornament was added to the back of my alcohol ink ornament to pop it up from the card base. I like how the black just shows a little around the edges.

Such a beautiful card Loll. That colour combination is beautiful and especially good for Christmas I think. The silver paste stencilling is very effective too. Vicky x
How pretty this is! I have those ornaments and as much as I used them never thought to use my alcohol backgrounds! Thanks for the idea! I love the addition of the silver flecks to finish this off.. This looks SO fun to do and I can’t wait to try it!f
Wow, the AI inks, the glitter paste... what a combo! A beautiful Christmas card, Loll!
This is another of your big projects, Loll. I love the deep AI colors that contrast so beautifully with the glitter bauble. The addition of a procreation through the template completes the card wonderfully

LOVE this, Loll! Those colors are so rich looking behind the sparkly silver die.
your ornament looks amazing with the AI background and the glittery poinsettia frame ♥
I think I have that ornament (but not with me) and have only done the other design. I love it with the alcohol ink behind the silver, Loll, and those silver splatters sets it off perfectly.
What wonderful colours in the ornament - incredibly rich and regal! Love the bit of silver embossing paste stencilling!
Love the deep rich colours in your AI bauble Loll, the sparkly details are gorgeous too, love all the the festive sparkle! Cathy x
Wow Loll! the mix of colors with your AI's look gorgeous behind your embossed silver ornament - what a great die set - and the silver paste stenciling looks like thick splatter and is SO pretty around your ornament! xx
WOW that's one very pretty bauble and what a striking die cut.
Loving the alcohol ink background, the shimmer from the silver and the attention to detail with the chrome glitter paste.
A real stunner of a card Loll x.
This is gorgeous and would look fantastic hanging on the tree. So pretty, Loll.
It's too bad this die is retired, because you have showcased it beautifully, Loll! Love your combo of AI's and how you added sparkle to your design...Gorgeous card, my friend! xx
Oh my, this is a gorgeous ornament card Loll! I love the glittery top layer, it just sparkles and shines. The alcohol ink background is so rich looking with that color combo. The added shine with the splattered looking background just finishes it off perfectly! Hugs, Brenda
Beautiful piece of AI, Loll, and it's pretty outline makes this one beautiful card

Stay safe
Blessings

Guess you don’t want us to re-create it… it appears most of the products you used are retired. *lol*😂
Wow, the AI colours are so rich and elegant. Love all that gorgeous glittery sparkle! Beautiful card, Loll!
Such a beautiful AI background to showcase that pretty poinsettia die on top. Love all the sparkles. Fantastic, Loll.
