Ornament Keepsake Decoration

By
I've had great fun today as I have been attempting to make the beautiful Christmas decoration from the front cover of the Holiday Mini (see side bar). I trawled YouTube for instructions - there are so many that I finally gave up and did my own thing! I don't have all the materials used either so I improvised - a lot!
Take a look


I used two ornament shapes plus the round centre piece along with Very Vanilla card stock, Crumb Cake and Cherry Cobbler ink.
Here's a close up


I added a pearl to the centre - one of the large ones from the Basic Pearls pack, only £4.50 and you get loads!

Materials
Stamps: Ornament keepsakes
Ink: Crumb Cake, Cherry Cobbler
Card Stock: Very Vanilla
Accessories: Holiday Ornaments Framelit Dies, Basic Pearls.
(Don't for get if you buy the Ornament Keepsake bundle plus the Candlelight Christmas Speciality DSP you get a Paper-Piercing pack - FREE - check up top or the side bar for more details).

Crafting is curtailed over the weekend as my mum and dad are paying a visit but please do pop back tomorrow as it's the 52 {Christmas} Card Throwdown and we have a fab new challenge for you - see you soon - Jacqueline xx

Yikes - I'm a bit late posting today, but when I got into my studio this morning I had forgotten that it looked like this I had a big family lunch yesterday and 'cos our house is so small, I have to keep stuff moving from room to room in order for there to be enough space. So I got to work straight away and now my desk looks like this There is a hidiously green magnetic board complete with snail magnets that I won in a raffle - just right for altering, some wooden drawer knobs onto which I will attach some foam to use with my disress inks and my chipboard albums from last week that I didn't get round to doing. Also found when clearing from one room to another was my old jewelery display board which will soon be converted to a card display board and an old set of corner shelves. All they needed was a quick flick of a J-Cloth and a spray of Flash (oops advertising - other cleaning products are avaliable) and they now stand proudly in my craft room displaying my most recent cr...
