Hanging Ornament Card

In my card swap group the tech challenge for November was to follow this Jennifer McGuire Ink video on Heat Embossed Embossing Folder for our card. 

Here's the reference for you:

My finished card~ 

 For this project I used the Darice Swirling Leaves embossing folder and silver embossing powder.  

I die cut the panel using Gina Marie Designs Drop Pendant die set and then mounted the panel on a black top fold A2 card base about a 1/4' from the top. 

I die cut the hanging ornament using the Memory Box Cabrini Ornament and the holly patterned paper.  Then I die cut the top area again using the green dotted Swiss paper to get the leaves and stem; and again using a tiny scrap of red to get the berries. 

Next I carefully secured each of the pieces back together on top of the silver embossed panel.  I had left the gap at the top for a ribbon and bow but found that it really took away from the design.  Instead I decided to add the strips of thin washi tape across the top.  Lastly I stamped the Merry Christmas sentiment and die cut it using the Penny Black's Elegant Stitching die.  I did of course add a white panel inside for writing.
