Hi there & Happy World Cardmaking Day! Today I’m honored to join Simon Says Stamp in a blog hop celebrating this fun day!
Each of the designers have created a project using the Ornate Ornaments set. To begin I embossed the ornaments in clear and blended Distress Oxide Inks over the embossing. Then I die cut the ornaments using the coordinating Ornate Ornaments dies. 
For the background I blended more distress Oxides onto Bristol using Peacock Feathers, Cracked Pistachio, Spiced Marmalade & Candied Apple. I also flicked a little bit of liquid watercolors using Aquamarine & Clementine. I used gold thread to make the ornaments look as if they were hanging and adhered a few Crystal Reflections sequins & some drops of glossy accents to finish it off. 
Show us what you’re making today for World Card Making Day! Upload your cards at the InLinkz on the Simon Says Stamp blog by 11:59 pm on Saturday, October 13th, and 1 random winner will receive a $100 gift card from Simon Says Stamp and one random winner will receive a one year subscription to Scrapbook & Cards Today magazine!
