Beautiful !
Well it looks like that ornament was just
waiting for you because it knew that card was coming! lol
Such a great idea..and now a wonderful keepsake.
You are so crafty & clever...

How lovely!! Once again your ideas amaze me. :o)

hugs, Karen

VERY COOL!

That is one I haven't seen!! I didn't think that was possible. I have ornaments/tins/plates/cards/gift bags/books with every Christmas scene NR painted--I thought. Thanks for sharing!!

Candy, what a neat project this turned out to be. Love it. Will b so fun
to hang every year. I think the frame painted black would be awesome.
Like you don't have anything to do. I know you like to paint tho.haha

Punk

Wonderful idea, candy ... & making the mat work! Looks great...I'm w/punk on the black frame idea to match the velvet. ;-) (you didn't ask but we're always here to "share" ~~giggle). TFS! Jeanne S.

Wow Candy.
this is such a great project.
I can't think of anything to say,
that the others haven't already said.

Thanks ladies.
Punk, there is a wood inlay around the opening of the mat that matches the frame. If I painted it black, it would disappear and not showcase the opening, and if I paint the frame black, it won't match the mat.
I understand what you were saying, but the inlay doesn't really show up in the photo, so the black does seem like a good idea, unless you see it in person.

Happy New Year,
Candy
