Christmas Bauble

I love the way this Christmas ornament turned out.  When I saw the picture of it in the catalogue I wasn't sure whether or not to buy it.  But in the end I did, and I am happy.

Here is the card:

I stamped the image twice, but coloured only the center circle of the second one. The first one was coloured entirely with blendabilities.  I punched out the middle circle of the second bauble using the 1" circle punch, and attached it to the first coloured bauble using a dimensional.

Santa's Suit

It's beginning to feel like fall!  Last night the temperature dropped down to 10 degrees C, and the daytime highs have not been much better.  What happened to our summer?
I suppose its good Christmas card making weather, but I'd rather be working out in the garden.
Here is another card I made using a stamp from the Holiday catalogue.  It is a photopolymer stamp and I'm quite enjoying using them.
