Stripes and Dots

Hi there everyone, hope it won't get too hot for you today, weatherman predicts 30o C today for the last day of September, I am staying inside and playing with my cards, and I made this card for the Merry Monday Christmas Challenge, Strips and Dots, http://merrymondaychristmaschallenge.blogspot.com.au, and used plain white cardstock for the base of the card with striped paper from my stash, it was the last piece and the dots from the kaisercraft 6" paper pad, Christmas Collections, I cut the Ornaments from the Spellbinders Heirloom Collection, Clear Stamps, I stamped on the other side and cut them out, as the stamps have patterns on them and I didn't want the patterns, I cut the ornament toppers from some gold corrugated card which I also used for the hangers, I used jewelled brads to hold them all together and I used the Seasons Greeting cut from some scrap paper with a Marianne's Creatable cutting die, and I used some silver stars from my stash, I have had these for ages but I thought they looked ok.   I used a gold gel pen to draw around the ornaments to accentuate them and also drew a bit of string from the bottom of the ornaments, just to decorate them.   Hope you all like them, I don't usually do mono cards, this is the first for a long time.
