Merry and Bright Ornaments



Happy Friday, Bleeps! I'm back with a rather unusual holiday color palette! I was inspired by those Christmas trees or wrapping papers with bright colors. I had to rearrange the color inspiration image to fit the color swatches together. The only one I'm missing is white, but it's in the text so that counts too! I appreciate your feedback and comments! If you have more, please ask and I'll respond in the comments section, unless you provide your e-mail!

Thanks for stopping by and enjoy your weekend! We're supposed to get a nice snow storm in the DC area!!

  2. On kraft cardstock stamp ornament backgrounds.
  3. On purple and teal cardstock stamp ornaments, cut out, then pop off kraft cardstock (overlaying background ornament image).
  4. Add glossy accents to create a shine effect. Let dry.

How in the world did you keep your cardstock from curling up after you applied the glossy accents? This card is a beauty-so striking!

What fun colors! And amazingly, you've made them play together in the sandbox so well....absolutely no fighting! Also really like how the ornaments 'hang' & the flourishes escaping from underneath them! :>
