I made this card using the ornament from the Tags Til Christmas set and the florish from Elements of Style.
I started with a 5 X 11 piece of Whisper White card stock which I stamped on the front, then scored at 7 inches and then 3 inches. After that I cut around the florishs and then sponged.

For the ornaments, I stamped, leaving spaces here and there to fill in. For this, I used the technique known as masking. With the ornament punch that matches this stamp, I punched two ornament from sticky notes, making sure to get part of the sticky area. I then placed these over the two stamped ornaments that I wanted my partical ornament to show between, making sure to cover as close to the edge as possible without hanging over. (You could also stamp an ornament on sticky notes and cut around them if you don't have the punch.)
I then flipped it over and did the same stamping on the back, only I stamped off the edge with the florish because it will not line up to match the front. It doesn't matter though!
I mounted this on a 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 piece of Old Olive for the background. The florish and sponging is also in Old Olive. I used Melon Mambo, Rich Razzleberry and Elegant Eggplant for the ornaments.
