Gold Ornament

 Welcome to August!  And it’s time for the Splitcoaststampers Fan Club Aug Christmas Challenge! We have a year of new Christmas Challenges!  You’ll need to be Fan Club member but that’s easy…just click the blue link to find out how. Bet you’re wondering what the challenge theme is..I’d love to tell you but you’ll have to go see for yourself. I’m also combing this w/ the Inspiration Challenge (IC765) & THIS was my inspiration.

I struggled w/ this card. I had an idea in my head but this didn’t really turn out like that…isn’t that always the case? Anyway, I gold embossed the big ornament. It was so big I only used half of it. I sponged some yellow inks on it & also on a large bg. On the bg, I also sponged a little Brilliance galaxy gold to give it a nice shimmer. Then the wrapped string was heat embossed w/ clear/gold sparkle powder & I die cut out the mid section, inserted the white layer (w/ the embossed greeting) & put it back on the rest of the bg.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
