Countdown to Christmas: FM81 Blue Christmas

It's time for Amanda's challenge on the Friday Mashup.  There are just some people who insist I make Christmas card before Thanksgiving.  Alright, alright, but I don't have to like it!  :)  10 weeks to go until Christmas...

So here is the "Mashup" Challenge:

1. Make a project with a "Christmas Ornament".
2. Or Make a project with some "Sparkle".
3. Or "Mash it Up" and create a "Christmas Project with some Sparkle".

I was stalking the front door for Mr. Brown the day I made this card.  He was bringing my Ornament Keepsakes bundle (set and framelits), Candlelight Christmas paper, and Festive piercing pack*.  Since I am starting to give in and accept making Christmas projects, I finally went through that section of the Holiday seasonal catalog.  Whoa!  There's some good stuff in there I've been ignoring!

I went with a classic blue and white Christmas theme.  I had to pull up Elvis's Blue Christmas on YouTube for Little Missy when we stamped together.

I used Cindy Elam's trick of matting the ornament with glimmer paper and Rita's sketch from Freshly Made Sketches.  I learn another trick from my downline, to use the new Dazzle marker to color the top of the ornament.  :)

*Don't forget that this month you can get the Festive piercing pack for FREE when you purchase the Ornament Keepsakes set or bundle and coordinating Candlelight Christmas paper.
