I'm really busy with one thing and another. Quite a few commissions to complete within the next couple of weeks...Yikes!! I'm in a bit of a panic mode right now, as I still haven't been given full details/instructions for some of the cards. People seem to be under the impression that I am both psychic and that it only takes minutes to make their card.....I wish!
Today I have a card that I completed a couple of weeks back, but hadn't got around to sharing. It has quite a lot of triple embossing and bling! Sorry for the poor photo quality, but the sun is very low in the sky and I just couldn't get a decent shot, the embossing and bling look lovely, but in my photo's they look quite dull...
The bauble stamp and sentiment are both from JustRite 'Merry and Bright' set of stamps. I stamped and embossed the bauble and sentiment in gold, and then coloured with Sakura glimmer pens. I cut some Spellbinders dies from the 'Ironworks' set and triple embossed them in gold. I then used them to decorate my bauble and I also made a border. I added some bling to everything! The ribbon for my bow, and my flower are from the Pretty Little Ribbon Shop.
I would like to enter my card into the following challenges...
ABC Challenges - Holiday Cards with Bling!
Papertake Weekly Challenge - Anything Goes
Tuesday Throwdown #126 - White Christmas
Thanks for stopping by

I love this card Sasha. I can picture what all that bling looks like in person! I love the way you colored your ornament too. That's the only ornament set I don't have, and now I think I need it!
I understand what you mean about making cards for people. One of my friends kept sending get well cards to her friend's husband out of state. Well, apparently her friend liked my cards so much, she wanted me to make ten different Christmas cards for her to send out. Gosh, I didn't have a clue what she would like, or how much she wanted to spend!!! Anyway, my friend made it easy for me, she told me just to make Christmas cards, since I already had to make the anyway, and she would choose the ones for her friend. That worked out well, but now I only make them on commission if someone picks out cards I've already made, and asks for some similar to that, and then, only if they give me plenty of time. It sure beats working like crazy trying to get so many things done during the holidays. :-)
Your card is gorgeous, love the gold! Thanks for playing along with us this week at ABC Challenges!
What a fantastic card this is, Sasha. Love the border - triple embossed, it looks so 3D like metal actually. The bauble looks lovely too. You made me laugh when you wrote that people think you are psychic. Lol.

I have never embossed that many times....it has never occurred to me but i believe I will try this now...and they idea of embossing your trim work....well that is just genius! perfect card.
Wow! Where do I begin? So much eye appeal on your card!!! Love the ornate border and bulb!!! And, the embossed background is perfect for this jaw dropping amazing card!

Hi Sasha, just wanted to stop by and wish you a happy Christmas and best wishes for 2013. xx
What a gorgeous card, Sasha! I wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!! Hugs
love this card Sasha and am a new follower - just wondering which embossing folder you used or what you used for the holly background - I love the random effect and that it doesn't cover the whole card. hugs Jess
