2020 Christmas countdown - Day 31 (Christmas Bauble)

Good morning!

Today's card features a slightly different take on an aperture:

Paper: Crate Paper - Snow & Cocoa (r)
Stamps: Lil' Inker Designs - Merry Ornaments
Dies: Waffle Flower - Nesting Hexagons

I was wanting to use my Hexagon nesting dies from Waffle Flower to make an opening on a square card, and also a way to add a glittery inside border.

And hey presto I found a great stamp in my stash that would look great framed in a larger aperture like this one.

The retro style Merry Ornaments stamp set from Lil' Inker Designs features a great word art style bauble with some multi-step stamping accents, plus lots of little elements to build the background - like the little dot and star stamps I used here in grey and aqua tones.

I used three colours of pink for the bauble: Peony for the main stamp, Raspberry for the darker accents, and Bubblegum pink for the top of the bauble.

I thought these colours would pop against the teal blue snowflake paper from Crate Paper's Snow & Cocoa collection.

The finished project definitely has that retro vibe to it. :)

Happy crafting, until next time!
