That's a lot of charming charms on today's Inspiration Challenge! I was inspired by This. Love the bright green color & to me, all the charms look like hanging ornaments so that's the direction I went.
After determining the placement for the ornaments, I die cut the top left one in the white layer & used this white backing for the ornament on the lower right. A snowflake ornament topper was die cut out of another piece of white & attached on top of the negative ornament on the left. The lower right ornament has a die cut topper out of the green glitter c/s. I also die cut a leafy border to drape across the top so my ornaments would have something to attach to & not appear as if they are floating in mid air.
After I inked the greeting, I wiped off the ink on the letter J before heat embossing it w/ green glitter powder. I used a stamp positioner to stamp the Flourished letter J in its place. The Small Bow die was used to cut the 2 green glitter bows & I attached them on top of the ornaments.
Thanks so much for looking! Closeups & the inside are on my blog: The Write Stuff

I like this card a lot and appreciate your explanation. That was a lot of attention to detail-like the letter J....and a good lesson about the ornament die cuts. Saving for reference!
I dont know why but the leaves look like little angels to me.
