Seasons Greeting

I used some non traditional colors for my card today.  I started with a black card base.  I stamped my white cardstock with the Elements of Style swirl to represent a branch of a Christmas Tree.   I stamped this off the paper and did stamp this twice to fill a little of the empty spot.    Using some embroidery floss I made a hanger going from the back to the front of the card and taped the ends on the back. 

I used the Final Press embossing folder on the red cardstock and attached that to the front then stamped my sentiment.  I attached the ornament using pop up dots and a few rhinestones to the hanger and under the "Seasons Greeting"

To finish off the inside of my card I stamped the swirls in the corner.

Amoure - 8.5x11

I scaled the 12x12 layout to fit a 8 1/2 x 11 layout. The bird and flower motif are a bit smaller than on the 12x12 layout. The rest of the elements I kept the same size.
Once again all the edges are inked with coffee bean ink. The photo mat has changed from horizontal to vertical.





Here is a close up of the Amour and the fragment tile. 




I added a grey scrap behind the bird’s eye, I just didn't like the white and brown showing through.

Amoure - 12x12 Layout

I have a 12x12 layout to share with you using the Home Accents cartridge and George and Basic Shapes.

All of my edges in this layout were inked with coffee bean. I welded the bracket edge in Design Studio to make a border for my 12x12 paper and glued it next to the dotted paper. My ribbon covers the edges of both papers.

In the top left corner I stamped "Life is a matter of moments" and the angel then covered them with a Tim Holtz Fragment. After the fragrament was dry I used and X-acto knife to cut around it. I stamped Amour onto a piece of cardstock, inked and curled the edges.

I used three of the motifs for the corner with the bird pop dotted. You can slide a photo behind some of the flower motifs and the bird. The photo mat will hold a 5x7 photo.
