The theme for this week's challenge at Global Design Project is O Christmas Tree.
For our challenge I made vintage-style Christmas tree-shaped ornaments.
I went to the vintage market this weekend here in Nashville, and I was inspired by all the beautiful vintage Christmas decor. To create my own vintage-style ornaments I used the Toile Tidings Suite along with a few other items.
I salvaged a piece of chipboard from the packaging of a Paper Pumpkin kit. The board was 6"x9" so I was able to get three triangles from it. I covered the front and back of each piece with Toile Tidings DSP and heavily distressed the edges with Early Espresso ink.
I die cut several snowflakes using the Seasonal Layers dies and added some Ice Stampin' Glitter. I just love this stuff!
FI used our Jingle Bells (#149598) and used a Dark Soft Suede Stampin' Blends Marker to tone them down. And, of course, I added lots of Linen Thread to each ornament. I just love how these turned out, although it is difficult to capture the true beauty of the glittered snowflakes.
We would love to have you play along with us this week. Be sure to check out what the other talented designers/players have created for this fun challenge at the Global Design Project Challenge Blog.
