Good morning! I'm still loving the NEW Sugar and Spice Release from Simon Says Stamp, and today's card uses some similar cardstock colors as yesterday's card - as well as some leftover pieces. You may have noticed how much I love when I can put things to use on a new card when I have them left from a previous card! :)
This card uses a LOT of newly released items! I started off with the background actually, using Burnt Orange cardstock and embossing it with the Heirloom Ornaments embossing folder. I turned it over to the reverse side, and gently swiped my Terracotta ink cube over the surface. This made the debossed ornaments pop off the background - love this technique! I also added White Splatters to the background for even more texture. Next, I created a frame using the negative from one of yesterday's frames, die cut from A2 Rectangles from Dark Chocolate cardstock. I added a glittery frame cut with A2 Frames from Glacier glitter cardstock, then worked on the ornament. I die cut the Nordic Ornament die with the same glitter cardstock, then used Honey Gold for the topper, bow, and string. I adhered that together, popped it up with foam on my background, then trimmed the excess off the top before adhering the frame with foam adhesive. Finally, I die cut and assembled that new Loopy Bow die from white cardstock, and adhered it to the top of the card, and added a sentiment from the new EZ Strips Reverse Vintage Christmas, die cut with the EZ Strips Rounded Rectangles die. Oddly enough, I didn't add any bling to this card! Not because I didn't want to, but with all the glitter cardstock, gold cardstock, splatters, and layers, there just wasn't a spot that seemed to make sense to add them. Sigh...so I refrained. The struggle is real, am I right? Haha! Here are more photos of this finished card:
