Merry and Bright Ornaments

Here's another Merry & Bright card for the Jingle Belles challenge. For this card I hand cut the three ornaments from white cardstock, layered strips of metallic paper across each at a diagonal, then used glitter glue between each strip. I added punched boughs and gold thread bows. I layered the ornaments on a piece of crimped cardstock and added a sentiment with two tiny gold brads.

Metallic & Bright

I created this card for the Merry & BRIGHT  challenge at  Jingle Belles. I used scrap pieces of metallic paper and adhered them to a piece of cardstock, then I hand cut a Christmas tree and stitched it on my sewing machine. I punched wholes to represent lights then layered the tree on a piece of orange metallic paper and then onto a piece of embossed cardstock. Next I matted it on a blue metallic piece of paper. I couldn't decide whether to include a sentiment on the front of this card. So, I've temporarily attached "Merry Christmas" on the top card. Hopefully you can help me decide.

I'm also linking this card up at Old Back Porch. It isn't for a challenge. Instead, it's just for fun. We are encouraged to link up current projects to share our creativity and be inspired by others.
