Welcome to our 1st ever Christmas Card Extravaganza ISC Blog Hop!
The Architects were challenged to choose a different image from the Joyful Christmas and create a card making it the focal point!
This is my Victorian Ornament card, featuring the round ornament from the new sheet. 
The ornament was stamped onto vanilla c/s using the bordeaux ink and again onto dp using black ink then the ribbon part was paper pieced onto the vanilla image. I cut a reverse mask of the ornament and stamped the stars and snowflakes inside using the merlot pigment ink then heat embossed using a red/gold glitter powder. The holly leaves were colored w/ a marker then the oval was cut using a Spellbinder’s die. I cut a larger oval and a narrow rectangle out of the same dp. A vanilla rectangle layer was also cut using a die.
The sentiment was stamped and a tag punch used to cut it out. A narrow layer of the dp was added and then it was attached to the image panels. A larger panel of the tree dp was added. The trees were a little too far apart for my layout, so I cut out a couple of the burgundy trees and attached them close to the pine colored trees.
I hope you enjoyed this Christmas card and I know you’ll love the beautiful cards the rest of the ISC Architects have created.

What Christmas means to me….
Christmas if my favorite holiday for so many reasons! I love gift giving… it brings me such joy! I love decorating the house and enjoying special family times together! But I love Christmas most of all because without that day, and the Easter holiday that follows, none of us would have any hope for peace, joy or a future filled with promise!!! Because of the Christ child whose birth we celebrate on Christmas, we can enjoy the promise of eternal life with Him in heaven and our joy in this life can be full in spite of circumstances!
just love your layout….and the piecing of the ornament…and the way you worked that dp into your design…fantabulous
Such a pretty card! I love the layout!
I absolutely love Christmas! Christmas means spending time with family and giving gifts. I love watching others’ reactions when they open a gift from me. It makes me happy!
I love this card it has such an old world feel to it! The colours are amazing!
