Pink & Brown Christmas Ornaments

Hello everyone!! It's time for a new Rudolph Days Challenge!! As you may remember, I'm one of the GDTs for the months of January, March and May. If you are new to this challenge, you should definitely check it out here! The theme is anything goes as long as it's Christmas!!

Here's what I've made for the current challenge.

I used the LOTV - Christmas Baubles stamp and gold embossed it. I colored it with my markers using non-traditional colors of pink, brown and olive green.

A closer look at the gold embossed ornaments. I always love gold embossing, especially when there are very few flaws/errors! The sentiment is from the Sweet n Sassy Stamps - Christmas Penguins stamp set. I gold embossed the sentiment as well, to go with the mood of the card.

Please do check the challenge rules here. I hope you will be participating in the challenge. You have until March 31st midnight PST.

Thanks for stopping by. Your comments make my day. Have a great day!

I'm not very good at stamping. I had bought a new ink pad from Itsy Bitsy and I wanted to try it. I used the LOTV Christmas Baubles that I had got in LOTV's bithday celebration and colored it using sketch pens and glitter. Not very satisfied with the way I stamped it initially but somehow covered it up ;) Any tips for a stamping newbie??

The poinsettias are made by me using my new Itsy Bitsy flower punch and some golden beads :)

Here is the completed calendar:

The cover page has a scripture verse.

Since this calendar was for my husband, I had to avoid flowers, butterflies and pinks :) He was very happy with this calendar :)

All the scripture verse word arts are taken from Word Art Wednesday. They share beautiful word arts of wonderful verses every Wednesday. And they are free!!

Thanks for stopping by and please feel free to share your thoughts and tips :)
