Color Throwdown #773

Today's card is for Color Throwdown.  I haven't played there in a while and I thought their colors lent themselves to Christmas ornaments.  The only question was which ones to use.  I settled on these from STAMPlorations.

After heat embosssing in gold, I watercolored the ornaments with Distress Ink in Wilted Violet and Blue Print Sketch. Then things went wrong.  I painted the background with Mowed Lawn DI but wanted to add what I thought would look like pine branches so streaked in some Rustic Wilderness.  I should have left well enough alone but once I started there was no going back.  To get rid of some of the background, I trimmed it down and added frames in gold and purple.  It almost looks black in the photo but it is Royal Velvet from PTI.
