Christmas Baubles

Another Christmas card to add to my list. I love the look of black and white for a bit of elegance . This card uses a technique which is new to me - using acetate, I have stamped some baubles from papermania and heat embossed them. I cut them out and have suspended them from strips of acetate to give the feel of them hanging(the photo doesn't really show so well but they have a good spring on them).
The backing papers are from DCWV and the sentiment is from Little Claires. I have added some flourishes behind the baubles from Marrianne dies. I have also decorated the top with a strip using an edge border punch to add a bit more pattern and secure the acetate strips down with.The sentiment has been put on a tag cut from a spellbinders die. A nice ribbon and some flowers finishes the card nicely.

I am entering this into the following challenges:
Totally Papercrafts challenge #88 - use acetate
Stamptacular Sunday challenge #134 - You Choose
