Happy Tuesday, all! My card today uses the current Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge, as well as the AAA CAS Christmas challenge:
I pulled out a set from Photo Play that I got several years ago and have hardly used:
I heat embossed the ornament in gold, then watercolored it with Poppy Parade ink; in hindsight, I wish I had used Blends or Copics. I added some greenery in Soft Succulent and Evening Evergreen, along with a wee little sentiment and some speckles of gold. The gold vertical piece was some gold Shimmer Trim from CTMH...I miss that stuff! The final addition was a gold diecut bow:
I added a Greetings of the Season sentiment, along with a little left-over piece of greenery, on the inside:
I hope you'll play along with our pretty sketch this week! Tomorrow you can see ALL the DT submissions, and I am sure you'll get lots of inspiration at the AHSC blog! Thanks for visiting today! Enjoy it and be blessed!

I'm so enjoying all of your gorgeous Christmas cards, LeAnne! Such a lovely addition today with its bright beautiful bauble!
=]
This is a beautiful ornament and I love all the sparkle!
I think your bauble looks great watercoloured, especially against the green foliage. wonderful splatters too. Thanks for your visit to me earlier xx
I love this card and I really think the watercoloring looks just perfect...maybe
prefer it to alcohol marker coloring here. Has more of the patina
that a glass ornament might have.
Wonderful card, LeAnne! It has a traditional feel to it with the fancy ornament!
Beautiful!!! Love the mix of greens and the ornament & shimmer tape!
What a lovely way to highlight this pretty ornament - the touches of gold add a real feeling of luxury to this CAS Christmas card.
Beautiful card! Thank you so much for sharing your lovely card on the AAA Cards Challenge.
Loving the glam here! Pretty!
