A Christmas Ornament

 
Hi

Today I want to show you a Christmas Ornament I've made using Sweet Christmas Tilda by Magnolia.

I started with a plain white wooden heart, which I found at the weekend when we were browsing at our local garden centre.  The heart only cost £1.99 and was already painted white and slightly distressed - what a bargain !!!!


So, with some added paper, lace, ribbon, flowers and patience I transformed the heart into this ...


I'm so pleased with how this has turned out - I'm glad I bought more than one heart LOL!!! 

As usual, I coloured the image using Copic Markers.  Here's a close-up: 


I'm entering Christmas Ornament into the following challenges:

RECIPE: 

Image: Sweet Christmas Tilda by Magnolia
Sentiment: Vintage Merry Christmas Postmark by Magnolia
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black and Rich Cocoa.  Ranger Distress Ink in Stained Walnut 
Papers: Magnolia
Card: From my stash
Tools: Martha Stewart Branch Punch
Flowers: Wild Orchid Crafts.  With some added Stickles Glitter Glue
Embellishments: Charm, Lace, Ribbon, Pearl Ribbon Slider all from my stash

Thanks for stopping by today.  I hope you like my decoration. 

Hugs
Penni
