MCT 12 Days of Christmas Day 11

Hiya! For my card today I used the fabulous Lowercase Fun Dies to cut out the "j" and "y". I used the ornament from the Warm Holiday Fun set for my "o". I stamped and white heat embossed that zig zag on the ornament that is also in the Warm Holiday Fun set. I inked it and the letters with crushed olive distress ink. That seems to be my go to color lately. I just love that color! 
I used brushed pewter distress stain for the metallic layers and the ornament topper. That stuff is awesome!........... Look closely at the above picture...See the pop dots under the letters and ornament?? No? That's because they are clear! I love trying out {and loving} new products! This clear foam tape is called Kool Tak and it comes in a roll {I got the roll} and squares. Super cool stuff!

  24. The letters compliment the ornament and look perfect to spell JOY. I have not heard of the pewter...it looks great and saves from buying metallic papers. Beautiful card!
