This week I have made a Christmas card using the SU set Contempo Christmas & the matching ornament punch, kindly lent to me by the lovely Jenni Oliver. Thanks Jen :) *waving*
I've kept to a really clean, simple design, with lots of white space. I really like the way it turned out with these non-traditional colours.
The sentiment has been added by way of a tag on each ornament (love this cute little punch!). I stitched the hanging threads with an iridescent thread over a line of silver gel pen. The ornaments have been clear embossed to make them shiny & then popped up on dimensionals. Here's a close up:-
The silver cord is actually hat elastic, which I sealed the ends off with clear nail polish to stop the fibres from fraying.
