Delightful Decorations

I know many people are probably already tired of Christmas cards, but I must confess that they are my most favorite cards to make. I could make them year round!

I also must give credit where it is due. My Stampin' Up demonstrator had us make a slightly different version of this card at a stamp camp a couple months ago, and I used the basic concept to make a series of them for my Christmas cards this year. I sponged the ornaments with Elegant Eggplant, Bravo Burgundy, and Old Olive using a piece of punched out acetate for my guide and masking the sponged ornaments with a post-it note. You can sponge as light or as heavy as you want with the ink producing various shading effects on the ornaments. The other fun shapes were stamped with gold ink, and I used a gold paint pen to draw my ornament lines. I used the same color markers to highlight the different words in the Peace, Love, Joy sentiment.



Only three more days until Christmas! Are you ready?
