Hello friends. I have another Christmas card to share today. Several are going in the mail today and others will be hand delivered.
I cut an ornament from white card stock using my Silhouette to use the negative for a stencil, but also wanted to use the cut out. I glued strips of blue pattern paper (from an old 4x6 paper pad) on the ornament, cutting off the overhang, and then had to decide how to use it. I embossed a white panel with Spellbinders Christmas Tile 3D EF and mounted it to a panel of SU Soft Sky (ret.), as it matched the pattern paper. I cut the joy from gold foil using a die from an older Hero Arts Joy Stamp & Die set. The ornament topper was cut using a Spellbinders die. I cut a narrow strip of gold for the hanger. I added 2 plain layers to the back of the ornament and mounted it to the embossed panel. The sentiment is from MFT Filled With Joy Stamp & Die set, stamped on Soft Sky in Basic Gray ink, and mounted with foam tape. All this was mounted to a white card base and I really like the finished card.
I will send this to Peace on Earth Christmas Challenge where they are celebrating their 100th challenge.
Congratulations to Diane & Darlene and the design team.
Happy Stamping,
JoAnn

You are way ahead of me, JoAnn. I still need to sign Christmas cards and get them in the mail. I love the soft blue of this pretty ornament and the gold joy makes it extra elegant!
