Festive Friday Reminder: Merry Christmas


Last week I for Festive Friday I picked up on the kraft with the red/white. For my reminder card this week, I picked up the black towards the back of the picture. I'm not sure I even saw that the first time around!  I layered two die cuts on top of each other and added a few sequins. I rarely use sequins so you'll have to give me your opinion as to whether or not they are in the right spot!  A touch of ribbon and we were finished up.  

I hope you are inspired to come play along with us at Festive Friday!

So pretty! And I agree that the sequins are perfectly placed! I tend to use them in 3's too!

stunning Lynn, super dramatic and the sequins look good to me. I spend the longest time moving them around until they feel like they are in the right place-don't think there is a rule here but these look right to me!

Your card is so elegant Lynn...love the layering of the die cut sentiments and everyone, including me is mentioning those great sequins, but I think that the bow tied it all together! Beautiful card!

Elegant and so pretty! Love how you layered the word die cuts. I second guess myself all the time with sequins placement, but I think yours look fantastic.
