Okay, after doing some serious surfing, I found a card I REALLY liked using the "Embellished Ornaments" set.
The original card was made by Nicole Watt and can be seen here.
To make my version of Nicole's fabulous card, I began with a folded half sheet of Crumb Cake. I set it aside. Then I took a piece of Very Vanilla card stock and stamped the bulb on it using Pacific Point and then I rolled the edges using Night of Navy. Once I was done with that I used the die and cut the bulb out. I cut the bulb cap out of some gold foil paper and attached it to the bulb. I set that aside to work on the focal panel. But before I did that I marked the center where the bulb will be so I could stamp the leaves on so they would show.
I stamped the leaves using Mossy Meadow. I colored in the berries using the Real Red marker. Then I colored in the leaves using the Pear Pizzazz marker. I took the Old Olive marker and added a line or two on each leaf to give it some dimension. Once I was done with that I took a sponge and added a little Old Olive color to each cluster of leaves. Then I took the "Gorgeous Grunge" dots to the background using some Crumb Cake ink that I had stamped off once. I wanted super light dots. Then I sponged the edges using Crumb Cake. I taped it to the base of the card.
I taped some pieces of find metallic cord to the card. I made sure that it formed loops. Then I used Dimensionals and set the bulb in place over the loops.
And for a finishing touch, I added some rhinestones. Two larger clear ones were added between the "flowers" on the bulb and three red ones were added to the center of the "flowers" on the bulb. I colored those red rhinestones using a red Sharpe. And that was it. It's not as pretty as Nicole's card but I like it better than the other two cards I had made earlier this week.
Thank you SO much for visiting today,
Wanda
