One Big Beautiful Ornament

Today’s card features one big stamped imaged! I grabbed this stamp set from a FB Stampin’ Up! buying and selling group for really cheap. I don’t know why I never bought it. I love the big ornament and the ability to color it however I like. For these cards, I heat embossed the image in gold, copper, silver, and pewter. From there, I created color groups and started coloring. Pairing the image with a coordinating cardstock and DSP scrap completes my card.

All the variations:

• Stamps: Christmas Bauble; Beautiful Baubles

• Ink: Real Red; Old Olive; Mint Macaron; Gorgeous Grape; Various Stampin’ Blends

• Cardstock: 2018-2020 In Color DSP (retired); Gingham Gala DSP (retired); Quilted Christmas DSP (retired); various DSP scraps; Shaded Spruce; Mint Macaron; Highland Heather; Old Olive; Real Red; Whisper White

• Accessories:

• Tools: Gold Embossing Powder; Silver Embossing Powder; Copper Embossing Powder; Pewter Embossing Powder
