Nm red and green ornament xmas card 12

I love making fun cards using basic supplies. For this card I used:

Papermilldirect Burgundy Sirio Pearl Merida Card
Papermilldirect Dark Green Plain Card
Papermilldirect Verdigris Materica Card
Patterned paper, circle dies, ruler, pencil

I started by creating a red and green layering panel for my card.

I then used some circle dies to cut varying sizes of circles from some patterned paper. I cut a lot not knowing how many I would use in the end. I will duplicate this card so they won't go to waste!

I laid out the circles on the green panel to get an idea of position then once happy glued them down and trimmed off any excess that overhung.

I then used a little die to make some green bows. I made these in the lighter green for better contrast.

I wanted my ornaments to look like they were hanging from green ribbons so I cut some very thin strips of the green card. I then used a ruler and pencil to draw a line to mark the position for them, and glued them down.
