I loved the source of today's inspiration challenge. When I saw the holly ornament, I knew I wanted to base my card on it.
Rummaging through my stamps, I couldn't find a holly stamp as large as I wanted. Until I remembered my Ornament Topper Stamps by Outlines. Hmmm... not just for ornaments any longer. (I should have remembered last year: Each year we have a contest at work decorating the doors to our offices. I used the Outlines Poinsettia topper, covered my door with 3D poinsettias, and won!) I wanted to use flat-back pearls for the berries, but the ones I have weren't the right size. Stickles? No. Glitter? No. Just happened to look up on my shelf and saw my container of Lumiere paint... perfect!

Your card is so pretty with the gold embossed on the shimmer paper. Congrats on your resourcefulness in finding substitutes for what you needed for your card!
