A Kept Life: Muse: Christmas Visions - Lavinia Snowflake Ornament

I'm so excited to share today that I'm a Guest Designer for Muse Christmas Visions Challenge! I love the holidays and could make holiday cards all year round! I'm usually leaning toward layered cards, but let's be hones.. there is nothing I like more at Holiday time than a flat CAS card! I do not want to go to the post office and wait in line to get my envelopes weighed. Yes I can be lazy like that! LOL!

So if you're like me I think you'll want to play along this week. This card was really easy to make.

I started with a simple color block panel. I love pink and red together for Christmas! I decided to make an ombre panel from light pink to red covering as many shades I could in between.

Next I layered on die cuts in white - a pretty ornament, simple sentiment and a few scattered snowflakes. I didn't even bother to knock the pieces out of the loops in the letters.

I need a little sparkle for the holidays so I added a few gems to the snowflake centers.

This card is very low profile and you could make a bunch in no time flat!

I hope you'll play along too because we've got a nice prize up for grabs! How about a gift certificate from Poppystamps? They're the creator of all the pretty dies I used! I'd sure love to see you win! You can get all the details here at Muse Christmas Visions!
