Wow! what an entrance, right?? From all the ornaments here, one stands out to me... I'll bet your eye might have been drawn to it, too!
My GinaMarie Design die [thanks, Bobby] provided all the pieces, parts and sentiment needed for this bauble … all but one, that is... the little hanger was fashioned from the grater die from EBE Cooking Lady set of dies - HA!
You'll have to trust that my EBE Painted Stripes are as shiny as those in the photo as they were clear heat embossed. The green frame, cut with a Reverse Confetti Cuts Stitched Note & Frames die, is my stand-in for the hedges. It's amazing what a person will spot if she studies a photo long enough!
Hope you'll play along with IB#99!! We love it when you do... maybe your eye is drawn to that reindeer? hmmm...

You brought that ornament to life...festive.
ReplyDeleteYep! That black & white striped ornament is where my eye went, too. Bet most of your followers did the same thing. Recreating looks like fun, I'm sure the gloss is super shiny. But I like the hanger the best...too clever by half.
ReplyDeleteOh my... this is absolutely fantastic. I LOVE that picture, and I love the your design with that awesome striped ornament and hedges. Most of all though, I love the cheese grater ornament top. I love the way your brain works...
ReplyDeleteI almost opted to give my black ornament stripes too, but veered off in another direction! I love that green frame..you have the BEST dies! These colors play nicely together!
ReplyDeleteA grater!! HA, love it!! This is fabulous. The bright green is the perfect backdrop for your snazzy ornament!
ReplyDeleteYou know, the first thing that I thought of was how could anyone possibly store those 3 big baubles all year round waiting for Christmas to come again... or maybe it was me thinking of how I could do it, because they are baublicious, just like your card design!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, bright and vibrant equals adore!
ReplyDeleteBobby really set you up with the perfect elements, Michele! Love this big bauble and the cap is extra special!
ReplyDeleteSo glad I gave it to you, Michele. You've made a stunning card with it. I'm only sorry I can't use mine to enter the challenge. When I have two hands the ideas are sparse but now I have so many card ideas and I can't even write them down. lol
ReplyDeleteLove your green hedge frame, but the BIG striped ornament definitely takes center stage and it's a beauty!! Love the gold die cut sentiment too! (need to play with my die from Bobby yet!!) FABULOUS card my friend!! :0)
ReplyDeleteOh, I would love to have some huge ornaments to put in our front yard! Adore the stripes and the wonderful dies you used!
ReplyDeleteI love your incredible card and your shiny striped ornament is perfection!
ReplyDeleteWhen is a cheese grater not a cheese grater? When it is an ornament hangar of course! This is so stylish!
ReplyDeleteStylish, graphic, gorgeous, Michele ... yep, my eye went to that oversized bauble too! Hugs, Anita :)
ReplyDeleteI'm in love...Anything with bw stripe goes straight to my heart and completely overflows it with all the feels..This is SO fabulous, friend! The gold accents take it to next-level prettiness!
ReplyDeleteThe shiny huge bauble looks amazing, Michele! How clever to think of using the grater die for the little hanger. I don’t even remember what dies I have!! ;-P
