Last of the bunch

Even though I've been working on my Christmas cards all year long, I still came up a few short.  And while I'm confessing, I still haven't gotten those last few sent out.  But I did finish them today, so they will be going out in the mail tomorrow.  Better late than never, right?  I made 6 so hopefully I will have a head start on the cards for 2019.  Two different designs, because while I planned to do them all in the style of the card with the gold ornaments, it took too much cutting due to the used condition of my cutting plates.  I do really like both versions, though, so it's ok.

 All the dies are from the same Elizabeth Craft Designs set.  The first version features the detailed ornaments in a beautiful, shiny gold with red ribbons.

 The second version features the open ornaments die cut directly into the card base.  I then layered green glitter paper underneath and finished them off with black ribbons.

Both are simple, but elegant with the shimmer and shine.

Supplies:
Stamps: Verve "Star of Wonder"
Dies: Elizabeth Craft Designs ornament set
