For today's card I used a die-cut (Bird Ornament - Penny Black), cut from mixed media paper and watercoloured with distress re-inkers. Once the watercolouring was done, a second die was cut from white card stock and layered together to give some strength and dimension. Brown twine was added for the hanger, along with tiny pop dots to the back of the ornament for added dimension. Sentiment (Festive Snippets - Penny Black) was stamped on the card front and ornament adhered before the front card panel was popped up with more foam from the card base.

Loll, love the cute ornament with the sweet bird and branch on it. Beautiful water coloring.
WOW! Your ornament looks perfect. I remember the ornaments my mom used to decorate for Christmas trees, hand-painted... just like your beautiful ornament. It was a wonderful trip back to my childhood, and I thank you so much for that, my dear Loll.
