I'm continuing my quest to do at least one holiday card each week, and I love seeing my stash grow. My inspiration this week was FS21 Markie's Mom's fun Silly Sealife Birthday card found here: LSC112 by markie's mom at Splitcoaststampers
I changed the colors and images and omitted the bottom sentiment. I stamped the Penny Black Hanging Ornament stamp in Prism Noir, punched it with the Mega scalloped punch, and then colored the ornaments with Prismacolor pencils and gamsol. I punched the holes with my crop-a-dile (I put small pencil dot on each scallop to try to keep them positioned correctly). Then I covered the entire scallop with Embossing Ink and Iridescent Ice EP ... glitzy sparkles.

Such a good idea, Stef, to make one Christmas card a week. I love this sweet Christmas card---the hanging ornaments are so cute. A lot of hard work went into those scallops, but so worth it!
