Hopefully a Christmas card will help provide a mental break from the heat and humidity. It’s not too early to start making winter holiday cards for Operation Write Home!
Today’s card uses five of the ten elements from the current Desert Islands Crafts Challenge itinerary. I cut the focal panel and its mat with Nestabilities dies. The ornaments are colored with Copic markers, with just a touch of a silver pen for the thingies where the hook attaches to the ornament. I added a few crystals to two of the ornaments. The focal panel is attached with pop dots so that the ribbon fits nicely underneath it. The layout is based off an older Lizzie Anne Designs sketch.
It’s so cloudy today that it was hard to get a good photo of the card, so you’ll just have to trust me that the green cardstock and ribbon match the designer paper better in real life than in the picture.
