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.
