Vintage Christmas Ornaments

Hello there!  It's time for the mid-month reminder over on the Christmas Cards All Year Round blog.  Our theme this month is Bright Summer Colors.  We are sponsored by The Stamping Boutique and there is also a crafty prize package. 

For this card I wanted to create a retro vintage look.  I had to reach back into my childhood and remember the cool ornaments my mom has.  I'm not sure if I got the colors just right but I love how it turned out :-)

Recipe:
The Paper Studio - Snow Day - Christmas tree paper
DCWV - metallic aqua, glitter hot pink & silver papers
Winter Wonderland Cricut cart - ornament #1 @ 4 1/2", #6 @ 4"
hot pink ruffled ribbon
silver tinsel trim

pop dots

Thanks for stopping by today.  Come play along with us at CCAYR and get ready for Christmas :-)
