Here's my card for Monday's Clean & Simple challenge. Today's challenge is a color challenge. We were to create cards using white plus one other color.
I've been seeing so many Christmas ornament cards in the gallery lately and I do not have the Delightful Decorations stamp set and coordinating punch, so I thought why not try and make my own.
I stamped the large tree image from SU's Snow Swirled stamp set using Glorious Green ink and then I punched out a circle for my ornament. Then I punched out a small square for the top of my ornament. For my ornament hanger I just cut a small piece of scrap card stock and glued it using 2 way glue.
It's hard to see in my picture, but I added some glitter on my ornaments using Iridescent Ice Embossing Powder. It's real glittery in person.
I scored three horizontal lines just below my ornaments and above my sentiment. I used my SU marker and Stamp-a-ma-jig to stamp my Merry Christmas sentiment horizontally.
So what do you think? Do these look like Christmas ornaments?

What a great idea - I'm in the same situation (hard to believe there's a punch I don't own) but you've come up with a great solution! Great card - and nice and flat for mailing too!
