Sparkles Christmas: Blue & Gold

Hi, everyone!

It's the first of the month... which means it's time for a new Sparkles Christmas Challenge! This month's blue and gold theme comes to us from our fearless leader Caz and was originally suggested by former Sparkles Christmas DTer Pat G.

For my card, I decided to add a little sparkle and some pretty Oxide colors to a sweet Hero Arts ornament. I gave a little thought to going monochromatic blue but choose to go with a contrasting color scheme for the rest of the card to pop the blue and gold ornament.

Strathmore watercolor paper; Stampin' Up! black cardstock
Hero Arts stamped images; SU good greetings sentiment
images and sentiment in MFT hybrid black licorice
sentiment embossed with Versamark ink and clear embossing powder
inking: Distress Oxides
ornament accents: gold Stickles
