Festive Friday #25

Happy Tuesday, friends.  The snow has stopped, the sun is shining and I have a Christmas card to show you.  It's for the Festive Friday challenge.


Isn't that a gorgeous bowl of red and white ornaments?  I was particularly enthralled with the swirled ones.


It took me a while but I finally figured out how to make one of my own.  I know that the top is usually where they come together but I don't know how I would have done that.  I hand cut the top from silver paper that I also used to cut the delicate chain die.  I knew I wanted something other than a plain background and that I would need a place for a sentiment so used the SSS curved edge die and popped up the panel embossed with chain link.  The sentiment from PTI is embossed in silver and the greens are from a MS punch.  I just may make a few more of these with different ornaments.

Thanks for stopping by.  I appreciate your comments so I'd love it if you'd leave one.

Talk about amazing!!! That curve is the bomb! I'm at a loss for words....it just sets off the rest of your card. Brilliant ornament, wonderful embossing, sweet greens, and very cool that you whipped up the hanger yourself. I'm with Darnell...WINNER!!! Bev
