CASEing Sharonlovestostamp


I came across this card by Sharonlovestostamp on SCS this week and liked it so much that I made a version of it straight away. I had seen ornament cards like this before but I liked the way she had hung the ornaments down from the scalloped border. Again, since I did not have the stamps she had used I had to get creative and improvise with what I had . First I stamped my background of swirls (from Season of Joy) in Versamark on Whisper White. Then I made the baubles from one of the Circle Circus images which were stamped and then embossed with silver . The hangers were made with half a word window punch with a small hole using the cropadile. Then I threaded through silver cord and attached it under the border ( See it's useful as well as attractive!)
The sentiment is from Season of Joy too but I am not happy with it- I wish I had a more swirly elegant one for cards like this- Maybe Santa will bring me one!!
