For our last post at Just Us Girls in 2022 we have Photo Challenge #660. Isn't the photo that Vicki chose a great scene? I love all the blue, silver and gold! I had a few ideas in my head and must have seen a couple of things that resulted in this ornament card with my new Reverse Confetti frame that I snagged just before they sadly closed shop.

Products I used:
Stampin' Up!: Ornament stamp, star border punch
Reverse Confetti: Frame die
GinaK: Fine Detail White embossing powder
Rhinestones
Versafine Onyx Black and Watermark ink pads
Archival Ink in cobalt
Blending brushes
All this took was heat embossing the ornament stamp (on a navy card stock panel) with Versamark watermark ink and white embossing powder. I copied a Yana Smakula technique of ink blending dark blue and black inks around the edge of my embossed panel to make the ornament pop in the center where I left the navy panel as it was originally. I added punched gold stars and clear rhinestones to sparkle the panel up a bit. I cut down the navy panel to hide it behind the wavy frame that I die cut from white textured card stock. I adhered the panel and frame to a white A2 card base and was done!
We hope you will join us this week with this holiday inspired photo challenge! I look forward to seeing your creations in our gallery!

Ooo, your card is gorgeous Carol! Nothing like navy with white and gold to create something elegant, matching the inspiration photo so well. Plus, the ink blending really did the job to make the ornament pop. Love this!
