I love mosaics and for this, I did a little mosaic like paper piecing for the ornament on my Swinging Z-Fold card. There is a tutorial for this here on Splitcoast Swinging Z-Fold.
My card started as a 4.5 x 12 piece of vanilla Bazzill. I made the main card fold 6 1/8 inches from the right side and the Z fold 2 7/8 inches from the left side. I added a red piece of dp to the left and a turquoise piece on the right. Per the tutorial, I opened the fold and die cut half of the ornament thru the left front. For the ornament itself, on coordinating dp, I stamped and embossed the ornament image then die cut using the new Spellbinders 2011 Heirloom Ornament die.
With a craft knife, I cut out little openings inside the embossing. I stamped another ornament on a patterned piece of the dp and cut out the patterned pieces from the ornament and attached them behind the embossed one.
Thanks so much for looking! I have several more pics of the inside and unfolded front on my blog if you'd like to see them: The Write Stuff

Oh my, I'm in love with this color combo - I love the dp's you've chosen, Julie, the deep rose with the light teal - the ornament is beautiful and I like the unique opening fold!
