I decided to be quite literal in my interpretation of the sketch - no card - just an ornament for this year's Christmas tree. I knew exactly what I wanted to make.
I cut two copper snowflakes using the 2011 snowflake pendant. On the inside of one die cut I attached some thread and then I glued both dies together. Then I stamped two sets of holly leaves and berries. I cut them all out and used my glue pen to go over them and added lots of glitter. Then I attached a set of leaves and berries to each side of the ornament. Simple but really beautiful. The photo does not do it justice - I'll try to get a better one tomorrow - in natural light!
Stamps: Waltzingmouse - Festive Foliage
Inks: Distress - Pine Needles, Barn Door
Spellbinders: 2011 Snowflake Pendant (S5-054)
Accessories: Thread and glitter
On my CR84FN post - which was prepared yesterday - I commented on the wonderful weather. Well, it's been a bit different today!! It's still very warm but we've lost the sunshine - in fact it's actually been raining. The weather forecast is for fine weather today and tomorrow - so here's hoping!! That's all for now. I'll be back later - I'm off to craft class this morning.

Lovely ornament Deb, it looks like it's made of wood! Love those glittery Holly leaves, so festive! This will look marvellous in your tree! We had a glorious day here in Berkshire, made the most of it with a BBQ, the last one if the year I expect! Xx
Beautiful bauble, I love it :)

Super & very pretty with the dark meallic background. We have sunshine - quite a bit of very warm drizzle yesterday but it brightened up.
