Baubles!

I have another Christmas card to share today...this time featuring some glittery die cut baubles (cut using my Sizzix 'Intricate Baubles' dies). I cut the baubles from snippets of blue glitter card, then cut a plain bauble shape to go behind by tracing around the inside of the offcut on to some silver mirror card snippets, then cut them out with a pair of scissors. I used more snippets of the silver card for the die cut little tops for the baubles, then glued all the layers together. I mounted them on to a simple navy background using 3D foam pads, and doodled a 'string' for them to hang from using a silver gel pen. I stamped and heat embossed a sentiment (from the Woodware 'Sketchy Pine Cones' set), then matted it all on to some more silver mirror card before adding it to my card blank.

As always with super shiny, sparkly cards, it was impossible to get a decent photograph, but here's another angle anyway:
