I traced the ornaments onto red cardstock, trimmed the shapes just a bit smaller when I cut them out and glued the felt ornaments to them using white glue. Once they were dry I filled in the filigree spaces using red glitter glue. I had to be careful to ensure that I did not get glitter glue onto the top of the ornaments - slow and easy was best. Inspired by a red and white layout of Christmas cards in a magazine I took out of the library I decided to use just those two colours. The polka dot and striped papers are from the same collection and I added a border punched (SU Eyelet) piece of white cardstock over the join between the two pieces. I tied a short piece of red ribbon in the top hole on the ornament and glued it onto my card front. I used a two step scalloped circle punch to create the red and white scallops and added a round stamped greeting (SU) in red to create my layered greeting. I glued it to my card front overlapping the white border using 3D foam tape.
These came together fairly easily and I really like the colour combination!! I made six of them which brings my total to 60 so far this year.
