I was inspired by this row of pretty vases. I selected this combination image/sentiment from The Greeting Farm for my card as it had the same number of elements in a row. I took my color cues from the inspiration photo, to come up with some fun, non-traditional colors for my ornaments.
Die cut stitched window out of green Bazzill cardstock, and also lightweight white cardstock. Used Copic marker to edge the white layer in green to match the Bazzill layer. Used a green scrap to die cut thin frame for my aperture.
Cut white PTI panel and used MISTI to determine the correct placement for my image within the window. Stamped with Memento, colored with Copics. Restamped with Versafine and embossed. Added decorations on several ornaments with a white gel pen.
Assembled card.
In addition to the inspiration challenge, this card works for this month's April Christmas Challenge.

I love this sweet row of tiny ornaments, Debbie! Very colorful and fun! I also love the textured frame with the narrow stitched frame on top! Very nice! I need to remember how you did that!
