On this hot summer's day - I have another card for my Christmas stash!
I made the ornaments themselves by adhereing some Idea-ology Tissue Wrap/Terminology to cardstock and when dry, punched them out with different size circle punches. I stamped the Noel from Compliments of the Season Two from Waltzingmouse onto Vintage Cream cardstock and cut them out into rectangles. I sponged the edges of the tags, the ornaments and the panel with Ranger Distress Antique Linen. I brushed the ornaments with Glitter Glaze - they really sparkle IRL not sure you can see it here?
Here you can see the star pattern on the Yonder Star Background Stamp. I stamped the berries from Around Christmastime in red on each tag for a little splash of color. I hand cut the ornament tops out of Brushed Silver cardstock and looped twine through the hole I punched in them.
I adhered the ornaments to the panel with thick foam dots so they really stand out.
My card was inspired by this week's Merry Monday Challenge - use newsprint
