Pretty baubles & trees please me!
Now say that ten times in a row real fast!!! Or perhaps not!
I mentioned yesterday that I had made some baubles and trees. Amy Rysavy has a great tutorial over on her blog ——–> HERE. Check them out if you’d like to make some yourself. I am not an expert. I found them tricksy. Perhaps it is my patience levels!! Anyway, I still love how they turned out! I used nearly a whole pot of Dazzling Diamonds and a fair bit of the Super Nova Chocolate glitter (Stampin’ Up!) so be prepared with plenty of glitter on hand. I did try one with the chunky glitter, but I didn’t love the result so I went back to using the very fine stuff.
The trees are made using my Ski Slope DSP and the Boho Blossoms punch. The base was just a styrofoam shape I picked up at a craft store a couple of years ago. I put them all on a white platter from my cupboard when they were done and Voila a table centrepiece for Christmas. I was very happy with how they turned out and it’s nice to just sit and admire them. Pretty things make my heart happy!
Hope you are all surviving the joys of the Christmas Season!! I’ll see you tomorrow for a non-Christmas related post.
Until then,
Happy Stamping!
