Ornament & Holly Christmas Time Card

I'm taking part in Dena Rekow's monthly Facebook Classes.  As part of the October class Dena organised a contest and to take part you needed to make a card using:

• 1/2 a sheet of CS
• a 4" x 5 1/4" piece of CS
• a piece of 3 1/2" x 4 3/4" embossed CS
• a tag
• a 1 1/2" x 4" piece of CS
• and a small circle or other shaped piece  

As the measurements Dena gave are for a standard US sized card I adapted the sizes a bit to better suit a standard UK A6 sized card.  I used the SU! 'Christmas Gleaming' stamp set and a colour combo of Mossy Meadow, Poppy Parade and Whisper White.  I embossed the white panel with the 'Softly Falling' embossing folder.  I cut a piece of Poppy Parade patterned paper from the 'See a Silhouette' DSP pack with a 'Stitched Rectangle' die, punched a hole and added some Jute Twine to create a tag.  I stamped the holly image onto watercolour paper and used Mossy Meadow and Poppy Parade inks and an Aqua Painter to colour the image.  I fussy cut the holly and tucked it behind the ornament.  I coloured the ornament top with a gold Sharpie and added some Whisper White baker's twine.  I popped up the tag and the ornament using Dimensionals and added a few red rhinestones to the ornament to finish.

 

Here's the inside and the envelope.  I used a gold gel pen to add strings for the ornaments and to colour the tops.
