Bauble Branch

Hey there - finally back with something not for Craft Roulette - LOL. Holidays were busy with being gone to visit family in AZ for two weeks. I still have my Christmas decorations up to enjoy them a bit more before packing them away! And I'm sharing a Christmas card since it's always time to build that stash!!


Supplies: Paper - Neenah Solar White;
My Favorite Things Colorful Christmas Text (retired)
Digi file - Bauble Branch by unk
Other - Copic Markers; Recollections gems

I started by covering an A2 card with holiday texty paper. I printed a bauble digi file that I've had a while and can't tell the brand. Looking at it I'm guessing Hero Arts, oh well... It's retired, whatever it is.

Colored the bauble branch panel with Copics and die cut with a stitched rectangle. Sponged some Tumbled Glass DI in from the corners and edged with Black Soot DI. The sentiment was part of the digi package, along with another sentiment & a couple more images - such a great value. I'm happy to have a working printer again & be able to use my digis!! I finished the main bauble with some gems in the center & at the end of each snowflake prong.

I'm sending my card to Christmas Kickstart Challenge #94 where Jo & elf Julia are Bringing the Baubles (ornaments to us Americans). I'll also link up to Merry Little Christmas #60 (my second entry).

Thanks for visiting and have a crafty day!!

Beautiful Linda. A great bauble/ornament card.

You were really inspired by your Christmas decorations, the card turned out beautiful. And you're right, you can't start making Christmas cards early enough. I want to do it too this year so that I don't have any time problems at the end of the year.
