Joyful Wishes

I’m really a fan of the clean and simple style of card making but it doesn’t come simple for me so I’ve been practicing it a bit.

I was trying to go with the collage aspect from this post on the Cards blog. I used a Hero Arts wood stamp and heat embossed it then cut it into the shape of an ornament adding a small piece of velvet ribbon to replicate the ornament hanger. I cut a tag with the George cartridge at 2 inches and added an eyelet and some ribbon. I glued a piece of tiny pom-pom trim to a piece of lace. I added that as well as a small piece of DP. (All the DP is Basic Grey Eskimo kisses.)

I laid it out and moved it around and around again and around. Then I finally decided on this layout. It took several pictures of it and as I was editing the picture, I realized it wasn’t balanced. I then added the the pink rhinestones in the upper left corner. I like it! What do you think?

Blessings,

Christine
