Ornament Card by Esther







I cut a rectangle with the ornaments from the Fancy Pants Tradition group of Trim the Tree to feature the two ornaments. The brown side of Stripe-n-Scallop was cut a little larger for contrast. The soothing blues lend themselves to sparkle. The ornaments were so pretty that I thought just clear sparkle was all that was needed for one ornament. A satin bow is adhered at the top of the ornament. Having things in odd numbers is a standard rule. This design is an exception and adding another ornament would have thrown the balance off. I mounted the sentiment, "We Wish You A Merry Christmas" the Tradition Strips cardstock leaving a touch of green at the top. The base of the card is a red Bazzill cardstock. A white shaped piece of cardstock was added inside that allows space for writing a personal sentiment. "And A Happy New Year!" from the Strip cardstock finishes the title from the front. Enjoy the season!
