The above card main panel is dry embossed with Scenic Poinsettia 3-D Embossing Folder (Spellinders). I used an ornament die (Bird Ornament - Penny Black) to cut a piece of acetate and used that as my stencil for sponging Candied Apple Distress Ink over the embossed circle area. I cut the hanger from the same ornament die using Silver Metallic card and added some silver cording. To finish I cut the piece down to 4 1/4" square and used a silver metallic pen to colour over the berries in the circle. A simple sentiment (Merry Messages - Lawn Fawn) is stamped in black at the bottom.

Genius!
Simple and yet very effective. Love the red and white and the silver finishing touches really make it shine xx
I think your card is just wonderful!
This is a great idea and the red stands out beautifully against the white Loll, and with the silver pen highlighted berries on the red bauble and a silver metallic hanger and twine as finishing touches, together with the lovely black stamped sentiment this is a beautiful card. x
What a fantastic idea, Loll. It would be so easy to make multiples of this design.
Love your card, and the technique is brilliant! A must-try!
