You've probably seen quite a few samples around blogland of the gorgeous Christmas ornament that features on the front cover of SU's Holiday Catalogue. Having bought the dies for this I was keen to give it a go using designer paper rather than stamped images and as a couple of my ladies were also keen to make one, we had a fun morning together today creating and laughing.
Here's my effort:
I used papers from Be of Good Cheer together with cherry cobbler tulle and some gold cord I had in my stash. The new vintage faceted buttons are gorgeous and add the perfect touch on top.
I had also earlier tried another ornament shape that features on page 4 of the catalogue and here is my take on that one:
This one uses 6 petals rather than the 5 of the larger ornament and for this one I used some retired dsp and the snow flurry die made in silver glitter card and held together with an antique brad.
Here are the other ornaments made today, firstly Maureen's:
Love the large green petals - they really make the cherry cobbler stand out! LOL! And the next one is Patsy's, done in softer shades which I think look just beautiful:
We had such a lot of fun making these and now that I've done one I can see myself making more, they are so addictive! Have you tried one yet?
Thanks for dropping by.
Cheers
