There was some lovely inspiration today . At first I'd picked out a Ferm Living marionette cup, but then I found the mobiles and was overwhelmed by the amount of gorgeous stuff in that section.
For this card I was inspired by this Christmas Ornament mobile. At first I was going to make a suspension card, but with the little holes in the die it was going to be fiddly, so I changed tack.
A2 kraft base.
Paper is Basic Grey basics kraft, embossed with Diamonds in the Rough, swiped over with Antique Linen, distressed edges sponged with Vintage Photo. I didn't think to stamp the sentiment before embossing, and didn't want to clutter it up with another layer - to my relief the sentiment stamped well.
Heart cut from a scrap of Bazzill, embossed with Floral Fantasy and sponged with Barn Door. Tree cut from a scrap of Bazzill with Spellbinders Fanciful Holiday. I cut an extra star for the top and a base, and added holographic card behind the little holes. Some twine to finish off and that's it.

Total perfection for your inspiration piece, Sabrina - don't know how I missed those mobiles - cute! Love the embossing folder and the way you've emphasized it with sponging!
