Vintage Ornaments

 Hi crafty friends!
 
Wow, we're down to the last month of 2024!  
 
The Double D is live with their first challenge in December.  If you haven't already started decorating, then it's time to get out those ornaments and get er' done!  The Double D's challenge theme is "Christmas Ornaments" and the mood board brings so many childhood memories to mind of the vintage ornaments on our tree as a child.  


There's a prize to one lucky winner too!

Cottage Cutz Deer & Birch Ornament

The pinks and blues of the vintage ornaments inspired my card...

I find myself using a lot of metallic and glitter papers recently.  Love the sparkle and elegance this time of year.  The white background is embossed with pine branches, inked lightly with distress inks and spritzed with glimmer mist.  I did a bit of paper piecing with the different colors to get the feel of the vintage ornaments on the mood board and tucked in a pine branch behind them.  
 
From my stash...
 Bazzill metallic cardstock
Diemond Dies Pine Branch 
Imagine Shimmer Spritz - Sparkle
Recollections Glitter Paper
Richard Garay Pine Branch EF

Those breathtaking ornaments on the pine branch background look like they are ready to be hung with care on the tree. I shinny foil that you used is a fabulous addition to them.
