Freshly Made Sketches #702 and JUGS Challenge #791

 
 Cécile introduces a brand new sketch at this week's Freshly Made Sketches #702. 
 
 
Here's my take on it and I'm proud to say that, except for the gold topper, I used
scraps of alcohol ink papers for the entire ornament, greenery, and tag!
 

A panel of white card stock was embossed with a folder that had a "flat" area 
on which I wanted to adhere the ornament. The details of the folder are a little off 
but I was able to stick the ornament on better than if it were fully embossed.

I'm also linking this up to this week's JUGS Challenge #791--Anything Goes with Dies
because it's the first time in a while that I've used ALL dies, including the sentiment.




That was the quickest card I've made in a while, thanks to alcohol ink scraps.
Off to link this up to both challenges. Thanks so much for stopping by!

    WOW Donna, this is gorgeous. That inked ornament is stunning. The texture on the background adds so much depth and works beautifully to be the supporting cast for that show stopper!
    So glad you shared this with us at Just Us Girls this week
