Audrie provided a great site from which to draw inspiration in creating today. I selected the Christmas Shop to search for inspirational items. I was inspired by this and this from the site. The items inspired me to make a Christmas ornament.
I created a Christmas ornament using the Heartfelt Creations Botanic Window Die. I cut out six windows, three green and three red. I covered each with sparkles, added a piece of old US sparkly twine into the center, and glue the windows together. I used vellum, white embossing powder, and a heat gun to make and die cut some poinsettias. After forming them and adding prills, I added them to the left side of the ornament. I used some Catherine Pooler stamps and dies to create some candy canes and treats. I attached the pieces to the right side of the ornament. For the top of the ornament, I added some holly and berries that I stamped and die cut with the HC Festive Holly & Cardinals stamps and dies. Before Christmas, I plan to add other elements to the ornament.
I had fun making the ornament, and am so pleased that I got to participate today in the inspiration challenge. Saturdays are busy days for me and often take up any spare time that I would use to craft.
Enjoy, and thanks for stopping in and leaving comments!
