I wanted the word and the ornament to pop and so my base is the heavyweight Whisper White and my next layer is the "normal" Whisper White. I've cut the corners for that layer using my Curvy Corner Trio punch plus the 1/8" Circle punch and then used my Scoring Stylus to score lines connecting the tiny circles. I cut my JOY from Mossy Meadow cardstock and the ornament from Cherry Cobbler cardstock. In order to have silver glinting through those beautiful cuts in the ornament, I cut a circle from the Silver foil using my 1 3/4" Circle punch. The sprig of holly is fussy-cut from the Home for Christmas designer series paper.
Those little red dots in each of the corners? I decided to cut some Red foil using my 1/8" circle punch and glued them into the holes I had originally punched.

DeleteLove how that elegant ornament coordinates with the beautiful script - and that was genius to hang it from the "y"! Thank you for joining us at Create with Connie and Mary!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Chris. I wanted to keep it simple, without adding a branch. The "y" came in handy.
