52 {Christmas} Card Throwdown - November Pick a Previous challenge

Hello!  I hope your weekend has gotten off to a good start!

Because it’s a fifth Saturday of the month, this week at 52 {Christmas} Card Throwdown we have a “Pick a Previous” challenge for you.  Louise, our challenge hostess, is asking us to choose a previous 52{C}CT theme for our inspiration this time.  You can find the previous themes at the 52{C}CT site, in the “labels” list in the right sidebar.

I’ve chosen the June 2013 theme of Christmas ornaments for my card.  The layout for the card is a direct copy from a card I made in February, minus the little baubles at the bottom right corner.  (I was in a creative rut when I was trying to get this card made, and when that happens I tend to just go back to something I’ve done in the past and rework it into something new.)  The main panel is adhered with dimensional adhesive to accommodate the stitching on the back side of the panel.  The ornament was stamped on a scrap piece of cardstock and punched out, and it’s raised up with scrap cardstock shims to allow for the “hanger” thread.  The card is still flat enough to work well for Operation Write Home, so I’ll just set it aside and wait until next summer or fall to send it off to them.

I’m looking forward to seeing the variety of themes that our challenge participants will choose this week!  Be sure to share your card at the 52{C}CT site by 1:00 p.m. Eastern time Friday, December 6.
