I can\'t find it anywhere!!! 🥺 I must have put it \\"somewhere safe,\\" you know - that place where all important stuff goes & disappears?! 🤭😂
I\'ve been making a bunch of Christmas cards lately, but they are all crap. This is the best of the bunch. I made this one for #theflowerchallenge2. This month\'s theme is circles, so I decided to do some round Christmas ornaments. The coloring of @alexsyberia\'s stamp set (sold through @maker.forte) was easy, as was the die cutting and the placement and setting the strings. I spent about 2 hours trying various backgrounds with these ornaments & making a few new ones before deciding that plain black was best. 🤦♀️🤭. Then, I spent another hour trying to tie my gold embroidery floss into cute little bows on the ornaments. They looked really cute, but they kept coming unraveled before I had a chance to set it with glue. So annoying. You can see the stray, flayed floss in the corner of the first photo.
I am also entering this card in #flickrlovechallenge (Anything Goes!).

I hope y\'all get a chance to make something today!
Holiday cardmaking is in full swing here. The Christmas carols are blasting in my half of the house, and yes, it is another 3D Poinsettia from #altenew. I couldn\'t help it! This one features lots of gold and pink and dimension, so it was so \\"ME\\" that I couldn\'t help but post it. I promise I won\'t post any more after this!
Check out all of the gold though! I\'ve got gold vellum, gold mirror cardstock, gold origami paper, gold glitter paper, gold embroidery floss, gold glimmer foil (there\'s a Waffle Flower stitched rosette that has been foiled behind the flower), gold sequins, gold seed beads...I refrained from heat embossing the sentiment in gold, since I wanted the black and white to tie into the matting on the card. Even if no one else likes it, this card makes me so happy. 🥰🤗
I am entering this card into the #ssswchallenge, #sssflickrchallenge, and #flickrlovechallenge, all of which are Anything Goes!
Have a great weekend!!
