Ornament in pastel

     My head cold has made me totally goofy.  I was going to play along with the new Copic challenge at The Outlawz.  Their theme is a non traditional colors Christmas card.  So I get my card all done and ready to photograph and DING! the little light bulb goes off that I colored the image with distress inks.  LOL  Oh well, I needed the card anyway and it will fit with the Twisted Thursday Challenge at TO which is to either include an ornament on your card or make one.
     I embossed the edges of the blue mat with some Stardust embossing powder.  It's transparent with sparklie in it.  Then I went around the edges again with a Brilliance Platinum Planet dew drop.  That ink dries really slowly so I hit it with my heat gun.  The thicker parts bubbled up and added some cool dimension.
     I embossed the purple panel with the same embossing powder.  The edged the image with more of the Platinum ink.  Besides the distress ink, I used some dimensional paint on the ornament and the berries.
The flowers are from TH Tattered Florals die.  I added Glossy Accents to some silver brads and covered them with silver microbeads for the flower centers.
     I'd like to enter this card into the following challenges: 

 2 Sisters--Christmas
Sassy Studio Designs--non traditional Christmas colors
The Outlaws POM--include or make an ornament
The Stamping Boutique--non traditional Christmas colors
Cutie Pie Challenge--pastel Christmas

Enjoy your weekend!
