Today's Inspiration Challenge websites highlight Christopher Radko's Christmas ornaments - here's the one I went with: Ornament
All edges have been sponged with distress ink for a vintage look. I wove ribbon through the lace and added cream string for a bow. The dp has a bit of teal green through it so I used a shimmery teal green cardstock for the leaves and flourishes. The sentiment is from Sweet n' Sassy Stamps Christmas Light set. The pearls have been colored with a copic.

Cool take on the ornament - you've really got that warm glow.
Now that I've enjoyed a non-Christmas card maybe I'll have to succumb and get out my poinsettia dies .
Blue skies and sunshine here this morning!

A gorgeous vintage-look Christmas card to go with those vintage-type blown-glass ornaments. I love your poinsettia, and that flourish is the perfect accompaniement. Beautiful card, Bridget!

I see you used your new poinsettia die. How lovely it turned out. I love the way you distress everything. It gives it that lived in look. And the strip of embossed paper looks like a ribbon, so clever. This goes into my favs.
