Joy

Here's my card for the current sketch at Freshly Made Sketches.  Immediately, I envisioned the layout's two large circles as round ornaments.  I don't have any ornament dies like that, so I fashioned my own simple round ornaments out of shimmery circles with hand cut silver hangers.  Once the ornaments were complete, I arranged them on a white cardstock panel along with a pair of shimmery cardstock strips.

For the sentiment, I die cut the word "joy" using a limited edition die from Clear and Simple Stamps. The die cut word was adhered to the panel using foam tape.  A few silver sequins arranged around the ornaments added a final festive touch.  The finished panel was adhered to a coordinating red card base.
