TGIF - what's in store for us this weekend?

Morning readers,

I recently signed up for the free "12 Days of Christmas" cardmaking workshop, run by Justine Hovey. I didn't actually have many of the supplies used by the J.H. team (like the better press, foiling machine or the stamps used) but .... like all good crafters, I improvised. Changing elements is totally allowable so I changed the image (obviously), sentiment and even the colourway but I hope I kept the "spirit" of the tutorial and here is my interpretation of DAY 1 ...

My C6 card

Materials used:

• White, 250gsm, C6 card and envelope
• Card in white and red, for my card front, insert and matting
• Snippet of white card for my image panel
• Inkadinkdo pine & bauble image (from 60-31153) stamped using Ranger Archival library green ink which I fussy cut out.
• Coloured pencils (purple and red) used to colour the baubles and Mod Podge dimensional gloss to give it the dimension and high gloss finish
• Tsukineko gelly roll bronze gel pen for the metallic element to the baubles
• Stardust stickles to bling up the pine needles
• Silver glitter washi tape (in place of the foiling from the tutorial)
• Recollections sentiment (from 119949) stamped using Versafine onyx black ink

And the "master" used for the tutorial? See below
