Although the challenge calls for cream (and I did read that before starting the card), I spaced on the cream and used white. I was on a roll when making this card that I didn't even notice the mistake until I was completely done. What was I (not) thinking! I'll just blame it on the late night. :)
The ornaments (from Winter Swirls) were stamped and cut out. Before adhering them to the card, I pierced holes at each ornament and strung embroidery floss through, wrapped it around the card and tied the ends together on the inside.I've horded these clear epoxy stickers for too long, I love how they look over the ornaments. And how about that Houndstooth! I love it! It's one of my new stamps from Studio Calico, I love how I can create a houndstooth in any color I like. Like stamping it in red over aqua cardstock! Fun!
Hope you enjoyed your visit with me today!

ReplyDeleteThis is fantastic! LOVE your stamped houndstooth paper (I thought you bought it!!) and those ornaments are perfect with the clear, epoxy stickers!! So clever to "hang" them using embroidery floss! Love it!!

Beautiful card! Love the houndstooth!!
ReplyDeleteOh, the houndstooth! I LOVE it in every color! :) I bought the Hero Arts stamp, but I think it is too small! I don't have a stamp-a-ma-jig, so it's hard to stamp a large area! :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Christmas card!
Totally fab color combo for Christmas, and your design is DA BOMB!!!!
ReplyDeleteCute card. Wonderful simple layout.
ReplyDeleteI saw this on SCS the other day... CAS fave of the week :)
