The above card main panel is dry embossed with Scenic Poinsettia 3-D Embossing Folder (Spellinders). I used an ornament die (Bird Ornament - Penny Black) to cut a piece of acetate and used that as my stencil for sponging Candied Apple Distress Ink over the embossed circle area. I cut the hanger from the same ornament die using Silver Metallic card and added some silver cording. To finish I cut the piece down to 4 1/4" square and used a silver metallic pen to colour over the berries in the circle. A simple sentiment (Merry Messages - Lawn Fawn) is stamped in black at the bottom.

ReplyDeleteSimple and yet very effective. Love the red and white and the silver finishing touches really make it shine xx
ReplyDeleteI think your card is just wonderful!
ReplyDeleteThis is a great idea and the red stands out beautifully against the white Loll, and with the silver pen highlighted berries on the red bauble and a silver metallic hanger and twine as finishing touches, together with the lovely black stamped sentiment this is a beautiful card. x
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic idea, Loll. It would be so easy to make multiples of this design.
ReplyDeleteLove your card, and the technique is brilliant! A must-try!
ReplyDeleteBeautifully done, Loll! Love the pop of bright red and the pretty bling!
ReplyDeleteThis is so cool looking Loll!! I wonder if you could stencil the circle first and then emboss?? I guess with the embossing I would worry about the texture impeding the stenciling with the ink maybe getting under the stencil? Obviously you made it work though and your card is CAS perfection my friend! LOVE it!! Hugs. :0)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful -- and such an awesome technique, Loll!
ReplyDeleteI love the effect of this technique Loll, super Christmas card. xx
ReplyDeleteThat's such a cool technique Loll, great effect. :)

ReplyDeleteWonderful design! Gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteGreat job on this technique, Lolly! The embossing makes this ornament extra special!
ReplyDeleteSuch a beauty with the stenciled bauble over the background, Loll - love the rich red with the white and silver!! The metallic dots and cord add the perfect finishing touches!!
ReplyDeleteLove the embossing and the die cut. A fab card. x
ReplyDeleteWhat a clever way you created that ornament. Now I call that creativity! I would never have thought to do this. And the card turned out beautifully!
ReplyDeleteThat turned out really well, Loll! Love the stencilled ornament over the embossed panel. The addition of the ornament top, the twine, and the silver berries is perfect.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Loll, I still really want to try this technique ♥
ReplyDeleteLove this. The red ornament just pops off the page.
ReplyDeleteReally just soooo gorgeous! Love this CAS design and the e.f.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for sharing your Beautiful Ornament Christmas Card, Lolly:-) It is definitely time to start 2024 Christmas Cards:-) Before you know it the rainy days will be keeping us in the house more often. Now all my extra time in the house is for baking and cooking yummy veggies from our large fenced in Summer and Fall Garden:-) Love this time of year:-) Love and Big Hugs...to a very dear forever girlfriend:-) Nancy
ReplyDeleteWow, what a beautiful card with this technique. It is perfect with that embossing folder. I will have to try this myself. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool idea... the embossed ornament is fantastic... might have to CASe this one... cheers Robyn
ReplyDeleteAt first I thought that this bauble was cut from a separate, red piece of cardboard. So cleverly you created a bauble with a round Stencil. A beautiful and so cleverly created card.
