Lydia Ornament

As the weather is more like autumn than summer, I've spent some this afternoon making some Christmas cards.  This one uses lots of snippets - perfect for the Snippets Playground 'Christmas in July' challenge.

To make this card I used:
     5.5" x 4.25" white hammer card blank
     My Favorite Things 'Inside & Out Stitched Rectangle STAX Die-namics, Memory Box 'Traditional Ornament', 'Lydia Ornament' & 'Crisp Bows' dies
     Snippets of white hammer card, gold sparkle card and silver holographic card

I die cut a stitched rectangle from white hammer card then die cut the Traditional Ornament from the lower edge and attached it to the front of the card blank.  I die cut the Traditional Ornament from gold sparkle card (the sparkles are silver) and then inlaid this into the front of the card.  I die cut the Lydia Ornament and Crisp Bow from silver holographic card (although it doesn't show too well in the photograph the card shines with gold and dark blue).  I used Artist Tac to attach the Lydia Ornament and the bow to the card.

I am entering the following challenges:
     ABC Christmas Challenge - O for Ornaments
     Allsorts - Anything But Square
     Holly and Ivy Christmas Challenge - Anything Christmas Goes
     Love to Scrap - Anything Goes
     Merry Little Christmas Challenge - Anything Christmas Goes
     Snippets Playground - Challenge 459 - Christmas in July
