Festive Ornaments

I have a Christmas Card to share today that I made using some new things and some old things! 
The old things are the stamps - Candy Jar Christmas Fillers, and the Grand Flower Box die from Poppy stamps - which I've had for a few years (just had to have!) but this is the first time I've used it!  The new thing is the chevron embossing folder from Provo Craft.

My design was inspired by the latest Festive Friday challenge
Here's a close up of the 'ornaments'.  I used Galaxy Gold ink on the little round balls and the bow that sparkle IRL!

Stamps:  Candy Jar Christmas Fillers - Waltzingmouse
Paper:  White - PTI
Ink:  Ranger Distress Festive Berries, Galaxy Gold - Brilliance
Accessories:  Grand Flower Box die - Poppy Stamps, foam dots, Charles (chevron) Embossing Folder - Provo Craft, gold half pearls - Michaels
