Hi everyone! When I saw the challenge at Addicted to CAS…I just knew I needed to use some of my Hero Arts stamps with the Hero Arts Ombre stamp pad! I had to hurry though cuz we’re down to the last few hours! eek! Life on the edge when you have too many things going! lol
I tried a few different backgrounds but ended up just going around the perimeter of the image with a gold paint pen after I inked and put 4 inch wide double stick tape over the top and covered it with Judikins Micro Clear Beads… I have to use them at least once a year! hehe
I die cut a Memory Box Postage square die, Holly die and the sentiment from Cottage Cutz in white glitter card-stock, holly in green. So festive but with a vintage appeal too.
I’m happy so it’s back to work on the house. The living/dining room is painted and we’re working on moving things back in. Tim washed some windows and I’ve been cleaning blinds! oh yuk is right! Double yuk! That’s why I had to stop and make something! haha
ok – ttul!

Wowzers! Sounds like you’re getting a huge remodeling job 🙂 What fun! Is this the ‘tree’ room where the monster tree goes? Looking forward to photos… What a beautiful card, my friend! I would LOVE to see this card made on video, from the Ombre ink pad to the mini beads… Absolutely stunning!
Your background is amazing! I the beautiful aqua color! Wonderful houses and love the pretty die!!
Gorgeous card! I have this stamp and don’t think I’ve ever used it. Next year….
I applaud your ability to drop everything, make a card, then get right back to it. Once I’m crafting, that’s generally it for the day. Great design, Pam. X
So beautiful Pam!! You’re so good at getting me into the holiday spirit!!!
So pretty and love the CAS attitude – I don’t do CAS well at all – I always thinks it needs just one more thing. Window washing is one of my least favorite things to do as well as cleaning blinds – UK is right!!!
Beautiful card !!!!
Such a beautiful ombre effect on your sky and I love this sweet village! Gorgeous Christmas card, Pam! Thanks so much for playing along with us this week at Addicted to CAS!
What a beautiful Christmas village scene card. Love your ombre sky background.
Beautiful Pam, this is my favorite color! You sound like a busy lady, hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving!
Gorgeous!!! LOve the postage-edge on that die… and cannot WAIT another moment to see the finished room photos!!!

Beautiful! Wish we could fully see the sparkle of those micro-beads!
Beautiful work!!! I love the lettering, the village, the color, and micro beads, the layout, and the holly touch. Wow! I love it all! Beautiful!!!!!!!!!!
Beautiful, I love the microfine beads on the image and that font on the sentiment is awesome!! Great design!
I love the beaded look! I still have bunches of micro-beads, too. Another stamp pad I need? Gosh, makes ombre so easy! This is just so darn pretty and relatively simple! Painting and working on the house? I can’t wait to paint my stamp room and put up blinds and curtains, but it’s going to wait till after Christmas. Yes, always so much to do!
Truly stunning. The ombre colors are wonderful – LOVE the microbeads!! I like the clean sentiment across the sky.
Oh I love this Pam! I love the colors you chose! Gorgeous card! 🙂
