I knew I loved this pack of Designer Series Paper when it first came out, but I'm realizing that anything I do with it turns out beautiful. This is another card we did at a few of my last workshops.
I used the Merry & Bright rub-ons on the Taken with Teal ornament. So fun & easy - I love how the rub-ons match the punch so perfectly. Hint - apply the rub on before punching the ornament. Get easy placement by turning the punch upside down & looking through the punch to get it perfect.
The Ruby Red ornament was done by first running a piece of card stock through the Big Shot using the Petals-a-Plenty embossing folder before punching. Then we added a few dots with the Signo white gel pen on the flower centers.
Each ornament was popped up with dimensionals & a string of gold elastic cord was wrapped over the edge of the triple DSP layered piece & held in place with mini glue dots.
The three 1 1/4" X 3 1/3" strips of DSP are layerd onto a piece of Kraft CS measuring 3 1/2" X 4".
Here's how we did the inside.
We cut out a Top Note with the Big Shot & applied Gold Encore ink with either sponges or used the edge of the ink pad directly onto it. We also inked the greeting in Gold Encore ink & embossed the whole thing with Iridescent Ice EP (My favorite embossing powder for the holidays!). It's a beautiful soft sparkly gold when finished - the photo doesn't do it justice at all!
And then finished it off with a few of the Serene Snowflakes stamped in Taken with Teal.
This is awesome LeeAnne and totally worthy of Nancy's iPicks!

Great card. I love non-traditional Christmas colors.
