When die cutting the outline for the ornament for another project I messed it up trying to get it out of the die. I had to cut a second one and still had this piece on my desk. I fixed it a bit and glued it on top of the red solid shape. Then to hide the torn bits I added gems. It sat on my desk for about 10 days as I wasn’t inspired to use it immediately. I had the ribbon also on my desk and was about to put it away when I thought of adding a bow to the ornament. Then it sat around for a days more. The frame was another scrap that I was thinking about trying to use and by accident it slid underneath the ornament. My mind said Hmmm … I wonder if … I found the scrap green cs and dry embossed it. Added it to the red card front and after stamping the sentiment to the frame I added that on top of the green panel. The tiny poinsettia is a fussy cut bit from a scrap of dsp. Sentiment is from a GKD set, the folder is from CTMH but I cannot remember who made the die set and have had it for ages.
Love the traditional colors and the frame for your ornament.

Thanks – I don’t consider it one of my best creations but using up scraps has become a bit of a thing lately

This is so pretty. You’d never know you had torn the die cut; the gems look planned and perfect!!

I think I’m becoming an expert at redeeming my mistakes. I’ve become very frugal lately. Glad you like it.

Johanna, this is beautiful. I’m glad you saved the pieces and even if it was a slow process, figured out just what to do with them. Great work!
