Jaded Blossom November Challenge

Hi Crafty Friends,
The Jaded Blossom team has another challenge for you!  This month it's ANYTHING GOES.We can't wait to see your creations.  The only rules is to use a Jaded Blossom product on your creation.
I'm finishing up my Christmas cards with the hopes of mailing them out early.  Today's design is one using some older stamps.  It's a simple design but I'm happy with way it turned out.This design is easy to do for multiples, especially when you use a MISTI or other stamping alignment tool.  I made a template and then stamped each section on the card bases.

The sentiment was stamped and then heat embossed with Gold Detail embossing powder.The ornaments were stamped one at a time.  I masked the red ornament before stamping the green one.Finally, I added gold thread ornament hanger bows.  I used two stamp sets for this design: Christmas Luggage Tag and Ornaments.
