Hello,
Today's card is another for the JustRite Challenge #086. For this challenge were to use jewel tone papers and accessories and use any colors (or similar) from the inspiration photo in your project.
I don't know why, but I always have a difficult time using jewel tones, and this project was no exception. I tried so many different color combinations and these are the colors I finally used.
I didn't have any jewel tone pattern papers, so I decided to make my own. I stamped the background with a small ornament stamp with StazOn metallic ink and heat embossed with clear embossing powder.
I stamped the largest ornament 5 times, die cut with Spellbinders dies, folded them in half, and glued together to give the card some dimension.
The ribbon was made using seam binding and reinkers. I used a pre-made flower from my stash and colored it to match the ribbon using a reinker.
Well that's it for me. I have 20 Christmas cards to finish before the end of the week. Have a fabulous week and I'll blog with you later.
Hugs,
Regina

This is GORGEOUS, Regina!!! I'd actually thought of using that ornament, but was too crazed with other goings on to get my done early (big surprise, huh?)!!! I LOVE your whole take on the challenge and how you did used all the colors so beautifully!!!
Wow ! This is a real eye-catcher. Love the Xmas theme in these colours.
