Welcome
And a special welcome to my newest follower, Helen Nile. You can see her fabulous cards here
A final post before I go into hiatus for a while - this was made some weeks ago.
I was offered a Guest Designer spot for Dragonfly Dreams for this month's challenge, where there was an inspiration photo to follow.
I took the colours, the ornaments and the stars on the ribbon as my starting point

The images are from the recently released Uniko Mid Century Modern Baubles set, and the star clusters from an older Sweet'n'Sassy set, Oh Holy Night.
I stamped and embossed all the elements, including inside the baubles, before fussy cutting them and 'suspending' them on fine silver cord.

The sentiment is from the same set as the Baubles, silver embossed onto blue, and mounted with a border of silver mirror card - the same card I used under the corners of the focal panel.

The inner was stamped on the left side with the third bauble in the set, and I drew in the silver 'cord'.

A matching bauble was stamped onto the envelope.
I thought I was going into an hiatus, but moving day has been moved by two or three weeks, just as I had started to pack my craft room... life !
