..... Morning! This is a pre-prepared post as I had surgery last Thursday (see post from Monday) and I'm not sure how well I'll feel post-op!! This is my weekly post for Seven Hills Crafts blog and I've got a Christmas card to share with you. Yes, I know it's only just finished, but I like making Christmas cards and it makes things so much less stressful in December. Here's my card:
Stamps: Concord & 9th - Yuletide Ornament
Inks: Versmark
Dies: C&9 - Yuletide Ornament
Accessories: White and Black Card; Silver Embossing Powder; Finetec - Pearl Colours; Tim Holtz Watercolour Card; Silver Holographic Card
I'm submitting this card to CAS Christmas - CASX#01 where they want us to use silver and gold, and to Happy Little Stampers Christmas Challenge - HLSXMAS#01 - where it is anything goes this month.
I stamped the ornament in Versamark on watercolour card and heat embossed with silver powder. I used several shades of gold watercolour paint to colour the ornament - it has a wonderful shimmer in real-life. Once dry, I used the matching die to cut out the ornament and adhered it flat to an US AS note card. I used the die to cut out a silver holographic bow, along with a couple of white bows which I layered together. I added the bow to the ornament. I completed the front of the card with a simple greeting which I stamped in Versamark on black card. I heat set with silver powder and cut it out with the matching die. Once again, I layered the sentiment onto two other dies and added it to the card. I did decorate the inside, but forgot to take a photo!!
That's the card for today - thanks so much for stopping by. See you soon. x

Hi Deborah. First, I wish you all the best in your recovery from surgery and with your ongoing treatment. I was in a similar situation five years ago. It's so important to listen to our bodies as they give us signs that things are not right. So happy you did follow up right away. Take care and get lots of rest. Sending healing vibes your way ~~~~
Your silver and gold ornament is so beautiful. I love those Fintec Pearl paints. Thanks for sharing your card with us at CAS Christmas!
This is gorgeous Deborah, I hope all is well with you?
