I know that a lot of people have been saying that Purple is not their favourite colour, but it most definitely is one of my favourites. I kept this really clean and simple. I cut a white panel an inch smaller than the card base, stamped the sentiment in the corner and then cut the ornament shape, going slightly off the edge. Using my stamp-a-ma-jig, I positioned the ornament image and stamped it in purple. I attached some thread to the bauble and wrapped some around the top layer, then adhered it with dimensional tape. The inside has a mat layer in purple and on the white panel I stamped another ornament along with a sweet sentiment.
I'm really pleased that I've managed to combine so many challenges - the card is square (KIS), purple (sadly now discontinued - CASology), and Christmas ornaments (MM and FFC). That's all for now, see you soon.

Hi Deborah, I love your ornament card ..... nice touch cutting the shape over the edge like that. I love the colour purple but don't often use it on Christmas cards .... maybe I will now. Linda xx
