Happy Thursday, everyone! I'm sharing a fun Christmas card that I made with our club girls this week, and it just happens to fit the color challenge at Hand Stamped Sentiments!
I had seen this technique somewhere in blogland but can't remember where, so I apologize for not giving credit where it is due! I believe it's called a floating ornament, so here we go:
The Lights Aglow Specialty DSP is perfect for the challenge; I merely cut 3/8" strips at least 4" long, and adhered them to a 4" square of Window Sheet acetate, then used the largest (3") Layering Circle die to cut it out. Foam dimensional strips were then placed under the strips to make it "float" on the Basic White panel. The gold foil elements are from the Spruced Up Outline dies; they work perfectly with the little gold accents in the paper. The "hanger" at the top of the ornament is actually the bow from the present die; we just cut out the top portion and adhered it under the ornament top (or the "pumpkin", as my girls affectionately called it!):
The panel then went on a Soft Succulent card base, and we stamped a beautiful sentiment from Hope and Peace on the inside in Evening Evergreen ink:
This was a fun project and it was really easy to do! Great way to use up those little skinny scraps too! I recommend using grid paper under your window sheet to make sure you get your pieces aligned! Thanks for popping in today, enjoy it and be blessed!
