- Using the circle stencil (from Cheap Craft shop) and using Distress Inks - Candied Apple, Blueprint sketch, Mermaid lagoon, Twisted citron, I blended the colours through different sizes.
- Stamped the sentiment - Hero Arts Holiday Christmas Message and gold embossed
- Used a gold gel pen to outline the baubles using the stencil also adding gold thread and hanger tops.
- Die cut a frame from white card and backed this with light gold metallic paper
- Trimmed the front panel to fit just inside the frame leaving a small edge of gold showing.
I started this card for the
CAS Mix Up August challenge - Stamping through a Stencil and realised I'd made a card that would fit also with the
CAS Christmas August challenge - DecorationsThanks for visiting... have a Wonderful Creative weekend, cheers

What a wonderful and simple card, I love it. Great way to give the impression of foiling too. Love the shine xx
ReplyDeleteI love your beautiful baubles, Robyn! What fun colors, crisp stamping and gold embossing! Thanks so much for sharing with us at CAS Mix Up!
ReplyDeleteWell, okay, then. I see you got out your big ol' hammer and NAILED both CAS challenges, Robyn! Your embossed text inside one of the baubles and your shading on the others, and the matting, I just can't stop staring! It's a winner in my book! Hugs, Darnell
ReplyDeleteFabulous stenciled baubles, Robyn! I so envy how you could outline them and add hangers!! Beautiful with the gold metallic frame too!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card Robyn. LOVE all the shiny gold accents that make this so special. Love the mix of colours for your beautiful baubles. The text through the largest bauble is just perfect! Thanks for sharing with us at CAS Mix Up and CAS Christmas! xx
ReplyDeleteThis is a stunner Robyn! I love it!
ReplyDeleteWonderful! You must have a very steady hand to out line the circles with a gold pen. I would mess it all up. What a wonderful idea you had. I think the very first card I saved of yours was an embossed ornament card on mirror paper. I thought that card was outstanding too.
ReplyDeleteTotally gorgeous Robyn love every design element! Thanks for sharing at CAS Mix Up.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous Christmas ornaments Robyn, and love how you created them out of the circle stencils :)
ReplyDeleteBrilliant idea to stamp the Christmas text on the bauble Robyn, as is using a circle stencil for the baubles, love the depth of colour in your blending too. Thankyou for playing along at CAS Christmas, Cathy x
ReplyDeleteAdding your heat embossed stamped text sentiment to your largest ornament really made your card design special. So pleased you joined us at CAS Mix Up Robyn. Hugs...Nancy
ReplyDeleteUsing heat embossing for the stamping through your stencil adds so much to the impact of this lovely card, it has been perfectly executed too! FAb design!
