Hanging Ornament Keepsakes

 I totally cased this from a card I saw on Splitcoaststampers.  Loved it so much I had to copy it.  Love how the ornaments stand out against the white background.  The bow on either end of the line was too fiddly so I just made a bow at one end. 

Supplies:

Stamps:  Ornament Keepsakes, Greetings of the Season
Paper:  Whsiper White, Real Red
Ink:  Real Read, Old Olive, Pool Party
Accessories:  Baker's Twine, Rhinestone, Brad, Dimensionals, Holiday Ornaments Framelit Dies

Have a very merry Christmas.

Paper:  Whisper White, Cherry Cobbler, Retired SU Christmas DSP
