Oh Christmas Tree...

Good morning everyone!

Today's ornament is a Christmas tree.

This is the last shape I used for my ornament sheet I made in Gimp.

This has the same music note image from Graphics Fairy.

I used a trim for the garland and

 Rouge liquid pearls & Platinum stickles for the ornaments/lights.

I also used the Platinum stickles around the black cardstock that I fussy cut around the tree for a mat.

The sentiment I printed on my computer.

Below you can see that I twisted my jewelry wire around a dowel.

On the first photo above you can see that the jewelry wire ended up looking like one of the larger Christmas tree light bulbs.

 That was one of those happy accidents! 

LOL

Thanks for stopping by!

Have a great week!

Silver Bells Ornament

Good morning friends!

Today I have another ornament to show you.

This was one of the new ornaments I designed in Gimp.

The background music note image is from Graphics Fairy.

I added vintage photo distress ink on the bell and sentiment piece.

I added the little May Arts leaves and a little rose on top of a bit of lace

then mounted the bell on top of a piece of red cardstock.

I fussy cut the mat around the bell and leaves.

Above you can see the sentiment piece that I mounted the same way I did the bell.

You can also see that I added a bit of Pearl Paint Dabber around the edges of everything including the piece of stem that I twisted.

Below is a close up of the rose leaf cluster.

I sprayed the rose with perfect pearl mist for a bit of sparkle.

I used a piece of Christmas Twine to hang the ornament.

My tree is going to look so good with all these handmade ornaments!

I'm having a lot of fun making them.

I hope you are having fun making your Christmas decorations!

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Scrappy Dayz!

Christmas stocking card

Good morning everyone!

Today I have a Christmas card to show you.

I started out with one of my stocking ornaments I designed in Gimp.

Once I had it decorated I decided to put it on a card instead of making an ornament out of it.

I used a blank card and topped it with a piece of patterned paper from the

 Grandma's House paper pkg from Gecko Galz.

I used my Martha Stewart punch on a scrap strip of paper then topped that with an image from Graphics Fairy.

The music note image on my stocking is also from Graphics Fairy.

I distressed all the edges of the papers and stocking then added vintage photo distress ink.

I used Rouge liquid pearls on the stocking toe & heel then decided it need more so I added some Burgundy stickles.

To go with the burgundy I added a piece of velvet trim to the top.

Added a bow I made with sheer ribbon from my stash.

I finished off the card with a few more bits of liquid pearls on the corners of the cards.

I promise I did clean the dust from my cd player after taking this last shot! 

I found my desktop too!

LOL

Happy Scrappy Dayz!
