ornaments...

 Hello!  Stopping in with a quick post of a card that I made for Color Throwdown and Freshly Made Sketches.   I wasn't even sure that this card was going to get made as I was really having troubles with the CTD combo.  I tried watercoloring, but couldn't come up with a nice color that would pass for cream so I looked through my cardstock and found some cardstock that I think is from Stampin Up!  Or it could be PTI's Rustic Cream... I really don't know!  I used the Simon Says Stamp Ornate Ornaments stamp and die set, as well as a sentiment from an older SSS stamp set called Gifts of Love.  Since the theme at the SSS Wednesday challenge and the SSS flickr challenge is Christmas I will also be posting the card there.  Super simple... I stamped the three ornaments in Versamark watermark ink on colored cardstock and heat embossed with WOW embossing powder in gold.  The ornaments were die cut with the matching die and adhered to a white die cut cardstock panel with liquid adhesive.  I added little gold twine bows to each ornament and heat embossed the sentiment in gold, as well.  While I wasn't certain about the color combo at first I do really like how the card turned out!  



Thanks for stopping by and don't forget about the big holiday sale going on at Spellbinders.  You can click on the link over on my side bar.   Have a wonderful day!

NO matter if you didn't plan it in these colours, it certainly worked out Rosemary, a really beautiful card.
