That's why I'm so glad she gave us some tips and tricks this week over on the Flourishes Newsletter!
I am laughing because I went for lots of white space with this card and it really didn't give me the same effect - I honestly should have dumped the mats and kept it all white! Oh well, I'm new at this! ;-)
Ok, here are the quick and dirty details! I took the All that Glitters set and gold embossed them, added some gold stitching for the hanging strings, a quick knotted bow and colored them up with Copic Markers. Gold leaf the edge of the white paper, add some red and green mats and a sentiment and..... done!Check out Stacy's tutorial HERE and then.... see how the other gals in the Flourishes DT bathed their creations in white!

Fabulous ornaments! I love the gold embossing and your white space looks great! I like the layered CS with the white, it looks fine silly!
I like the card! Love those ornaments.
I think the stitched thread hanging the ornaments is so great Julie. Great color on the ornaments too, they look so classy
Your card is just fine! I think if you took off the colored mats it would not look as good.
I think it looks fine, more than fine its gorgeous, and there is white space all over the front :)
Ooooooh, I like this, Julie! Just the right amount of white space and ribbon, and these particular ornaments are ideal for the gold embossing. Love the gold stitching, too. It's funny how difficult white space can be. Most of us really struggle with it.
I like your card a lot! I think it's very pretty! I like your ornament placement and the stitching that they hang from is great!!
I have cased a card before and I loved the card I cased but somehow mine looked different and I don't like it as much. After much careful studying ;-), I decided that I had made my mats too wide... so I took my card apart and made the mats narrower and I liked it much better. Might work for you.. might not...
IMHO and in the words of Mark Darcey (directed at Bridget Jones).... "I love you just the way you are"!!!
I hope that you enjoy some great time with your son and all of your family!!!
