Priscilla came up with another winner of a sketch this week. Come join in on the fun. You have a chance to be acknowledged for your talent and/or win prizes. The designers are incredible on her team.
I struggled to get the right balance and red to white to gold ratio just right. Hope I accomplished that finally.
I stamped the ornament twice and embossed with gold, then popped up on dimensionals. I popped up the first gold layer, scallop nestie and image mat on dimensionals too. I used the circle snowflakes ef for the white mat behind the image.
I added some gold sparkly ribbon to the side, some prima poinsettias with gold pearls and this fabulous metal gold bow I found at Michael's which is on the right hand corner. Of course, I had to add a little red gem to the center.
I added a tiny tag for the sentiment and used the MS ornament border punch. I love that punch!!
That's about all she wrote. Thanks for taking the time to look and have a fabulous weekend!

Hold it! Where and when did you get that ornament punch? I love it, don't have, and have yet to see it. You know my address. LOL Your card is another in the line of beauties you create. You should get back over to the MMSC...I'm sure they are missing you and your creations. I love that center ornament...yummy. And, the sentiment is just soooo sweet. The braid is very pretty. Is this mine? I don't know...they just get better and better..I'll let you know. This may be it!!

....oh Pam....this is just so lovely. I struggle a lot to get just the right balance in my cards so I know exactly what you mean. You've achieved a perfect blend of everything here, as usual. Love your bottom border and the way you've layered it. TFS.

...sure it�s got a catchy beat, but can you stamp to it?

Wow Pam this is just dynamite!!! I am looking at that border punch and loving and saying to myself....I have got to get mine out and start using it. I got a good deal on that one last year at the end of year clearance!! It is so cute that it matches your image. What a pretty card so beautifully crafted!!! Great job with the sketch this week. Thank you so much for playing along with the Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge.

And what exactly is this? Is this another Christmas card? Have you not looked at your calendar lately? I believe we're still in .......er......September? Are we not 3 months away from needing Christmas cards? I know why you're doing; I really do know. And let me tell you it's not fun! So I'm just going to pretend this is another kind of card. Yeah, that's it: it's a perfect easter card. Yes, that's exactly what is, you fruitcake. You must not be focusing as I've suggested any number of times in the past. Obviously, you got a little carried away with your colors. I'm not sure these really remind me of Easter, but what the heck? You have license to do whatever you want to do. That's not going to change. Beautifully designed. Love the gold cording and the punched edge. It's all quite sweet for .....ahem....an Easter card.
