Christmas Card Challenge - Ornament Silver

The challenge for March is Ornament and Silver.

I chose to use my recent purchase again. I cut the Penny Black Creative Die 51-254 Manger from black card stock.  I cut a circle from sparkly paper with a Spellbinder Nestabilities Smooth Round from the small set.  I cut an ornament with the Sizzix Ornament #2 from the same black card stock. I assembled the ornament by gluing the sparkly paper onto the ornament then attaching the manger die cut with a pewter star brad.

I printed the greeting layer onto warm grey card stock then trimmed close to the border.  I then adhered the ornament to that layer aligning it with the branch.  I cut a length of silver cord, made a bow and adhered it to the ornament hanger. I trimmed the ends with scissors.

I placed 2 lengths of silver glitter washi tape onto the black card front aligning them near the top and bottom. The greeting layer was then adhered to the card front with 3D foam tape.  I think I will try a couple with cooler grey card stock.

I made a couple with the same non shed silver glitter paper and the manger scene shows up much better on those.   Those also have the cooler toned card stock greeting layer. 

O Holy Night Card Set

This set of card was made with a photo I took of the nativity set up in my office.   I created a purple gradient background onto which I placed a green frame.  Into the frame I inserted my photo.  I added the words O HOLY NIGHT in a ivory color.  It was printed on card stock and then I trimmed it.  I created a frame in a deep purple color onto an ivory card.  The nativity panel was adhered in the frame.


This set was packaged in a 6x6 clear box with a custom card stock spacer.
