Ornaments

Dear Ones~
Oh my gosh - it just won't quit snowing. I can honestly say that it has been snowing off and on here for almost a week. Every day!!! So happy for my cozy little home and my cozy little chair. I'm NOT going anywhere!!!
Today's card was made for the Just Us Girls Challenge . My sweet friend Sharyn is hosting this week and I just couldn't pass up the opportunity to play along. This is a color challenge. You can see the colors here:
Aren't they gorgeous??? Just love them. Here's my card:
For some reason I had a hard time coming up with a card for this. Don't know why - I love the colors - just couldn't get inspired. So here I played with some of my Brusho Crystal Colors and a little watercolor in the background. After I had the paper colored I cut out 2 circles with some dies, and turned them into ornaments. A little gold accent and I called it good. You can see the specks of Wow High Loft embossing powder in the background.

Here are the ingredients:
GKD Red Hot, Turquoise Sea and Ivory Card Stock
Bright Red Brusho Crystal Color
Turquoise Water Color
Darice Interlocking Circles Embossing Folder
GKD Let It Snow Stamp Set for Greeting
GKD Gold Embossing Powder
WOW High Loft Embossing Powder.

So that's it for me. Thanks for stopping by, I adore your comments. Oh, and stay warm, my friends!!!
