I confess- I'm that little Jewish gal obsessed with Christmas! So I inked up my new set, Delightful Decorations, stamped them with Brilliance Moonlight White on Real Red, and used my matching punch, popped them up for dimension. I used a computer generated Christmas tree image, covered it with paper vellum for a soft, dreamy look, finished it off with brads, plasitc *bling*, organdy ribbon, and don'tcha just love that little red ornament charm!
This is a big piece- 6 1/2 by 8 1/2 inches, which I'll keep for my own holiday decorations, but I like the layout, so I'll use a smaller, simplified version for one of my 2010 holiday cards. What do you think?
Thanks for looking; hope you like it! Isn't this snow pretty? I hope nobody has to go anywhere, and everyone can just look out the window and enjoy it!
Hugggs!
Maddy

Oh my, I just love the way you've put that tree image behind the ornaments. And that charm - couldn't be more perfect. A great addition to your supply of seasonal decor.

Wow! The ornaments look great over that amazing tree image. I know that most everyone is tired of snow, but my son is loving the fact that he can now go snowmobiling at home over the upcoming break.

Ooo!! I love what you are doing with vellum today!! Great look you got by laying it over that tree image. I love that ornament stamp/punch set--I'm definitely going to have to get that (hopefully it will be in the next big SU catalog!!).

I had to chuckle when you mentioned that you were that little Jewish gal obsessed by Christmas. I always thought that Neil Diamond, who I believe either was originally or is still Jewish, sings great Christmas carols. Anyway, I love the tree background behind the Christmas ornaments. Beautiful card, Maddy.

OMGoodness, Maddy, this is just FABULOUS! Right into my favs. Wherever did you find that beautiful tree! The vellum softens it so much. I just love this.
Stay warm.

Oh Maddy, you rocked that vellum! What a perfect application! Your tree looks just like the tree outside the front door, snow bunny genes here. So, yep, I'll keep the snow! Your ornaments are gorgeous!!! Great great work!!!
