For Lyn's Yes, You CAN TLC.
Her tip of adhering the foam to the can before die-cutting was a great one, very helpful.
Luckily I still had part of a Guinness can left from making a snowman a couple of weeks back. I was able to position the body on a black part, and the wings on the harp logo. Added a gem for the eye.
The piece I used for the ornament was on my desk, a second piece for Polly's recent Text MIX challenge, which I hadn't got round to using. It was large enough to cut two ornaments from...after collaging all my text papers I'd embossed it and coloured with gelatos. Today I just added white enamel accents on all the berries.
For a super-quick base I simply embossed some white card with the same pine ef, edged it in gold and tucked the hanging cord behind it before sticking it carefully to a card base.

Sabrina this is so clever! Amazing that you were able to get the harp design off your can on the bird's wing. And your saved text collage works so well for the ornament ...love how you jazzed it up with embossing and gelatos.

That little bird may be a little tipsy seeing what he is made from! Perfect positioning on the can parts! This is a really fun challenge. I'm off to try it now.

This is like a sculpture on a card. The colors are so wonderfully earthy and rich. I love the gold edge and simple embossed white bg. Fabulous artwork. I miss sering all of your gorge oyys creations , but it is a always a joy when I have a minute to comment on one.
