This is my second card for the current Mix It Up challenge at Ellen Hutson. I mentioned yesterday that my supply of Savvy product is limited and it is. I have 3 dies and 2 stamps. But my Savvy dies are among my all-time favourites for Christmas. (Here's another Joy and here's Peace).
This time I used a very 'serious' Joy die but made it a little more fun by filling the negative space with Julie's quirky ornament and adding a fun sentiment.
I used:
-Savvy Joy die (appears to be retired)
-Essentials By Ellen Christmas Scribbles and matching dies
-Essentials by Ellen 'Tis the Season
ETA: do you ever feel the need to 'tweak' your cards once you see them online? The placement of the ornament felt too low for me and I wanted it to hang from a string:
What do you think?
This is such a fun card! I need to break out my little stash of Savvy Stamps, too!
ReplyDeleteLove the ornament in the middle of the "O"! And the touch of sparkle is perfect...

Perfect. Love how you added the ornament in the middle of the O!
ReplyDeleteSo cute! Love the addition of the string...who would have thought!
ReplyDeleteThis is fabulous! Like it better with the string! Sadly I do not own any Savvy stamps.....
ReplyDeleteI do as well... tweak stuff. Ardyth, I ADORE you....and your creations! The string, = perfection!
ReplyDeleteYes!! I want to tweak each and every card after I upload it to Flickr. I can't seem to "see" it until it's out there for the world...
ReplyDeleteI think both versions are great, but your tweaks make it perfect.
Love that joy die! Great CAS design & I actually like both versions.
