ABC Christmas - N & O are for?

It's the second Wednesday of a new month, so that means it's time for a new ABC Christmas Challenge! Lynda is the host, and the themes are:

'N is for No Layers'
&

'O is for Ornaments'


This is the prize on offer for one lucky winner:



For my 'No Layers' card, I stamped a Penny Black chicken stamp, called 'Brightest Xmas', directly on to a kraft card blank, along with a sentiment using a stamp from the 'Scribbly Christmas' set by Tim Holtz for Stampers Anonymous. I coloured the image using watercolour pencils, then added some shine to the lights using Glossy Accents.


The stamps I used on my 'O is for Ornaments' card are from the 'Festive Flurries - Baubles & Bows' set by Creative Expressions. I stamped them on to black card using Versamark Ink, then heat embossed them using 'Metallic Gold Sparkle' embossing glitter from WOW. I used a Versark pen to draw a 'string' for each of the ornaments, then heat embossed those, along with the sentiment from the same stamp set, using 'Gold Pearl' embossing powder, also from WOW. I matted the panel on to some gold mirror card, then added it to a black card blank.


I'm also entering these cards into the following challenges:
