This 5"x7" card uses simple tones of rustic browns, ivory and light blues to create an elegant traditional Christmas card.  The ornaments are cut from a combination of the Memory Box Lydia Ornament and Traditional Ornament dies.  The three dimensional bows are made using ivory cardstock and the Pretty Pretty Bows  die by Cheery Lynn.  After cutting the bow try curling the bow pieces using a bone folder, this helps shape the bow and gives it a more natural formed look. The Paisley paper background may seem a bit busy but by adding solid pieces of cardstock the patterned paper appears less striking and softer and your attention is brought back to the foremost focal point the cascading ornaments.
