Christmas Decorations

Good Morning!  I have been busy playing with some die cuts and creating Christmas decorations that can be attached to a gift and used as an ornament.


 I started with the Basically Bare - Dress Form Die cut and the Basically Bare - Angel Wings.  I painted the form with white gesso and then sponged with antique linen.

I then took the lace and spritzed it with Tarnished Brass Stain Spray and then layered it on the dress form.  The background was stamped with the Memory Box - Dream stamp.  I found this bunch of holly in my Christmas Stash and added it to the waist. 

The wings were covered with Idea-Ology Shimmery gold paper.  I then just stained a few flowers with the tarnished brass added a little glitter and made a flowery necklace.


 My second project is two canvas hearts.



 I stitched together two canvas hearts with a little stuffing inside.  The outside is simple with a little gold embossing paste using the doily stencil from Tim Holtz.  After it dried I spritzed with a pink mist.


I don't sew so this was a labor of love. If I had a sewing machine and knew how to use it I would have quickly sewn the edges. I love the rustic feel of the whip stitch.

I am entering this in the following challenges:

Frilly and Funkie - Tis the Season
A Vintage Journey's - Vintage Christmas 

Thanks for stopping by!

    Love your decorations Suzz. Love the combination of the pink and gold together . And the dress form is very in at the moment. Looking around Facebook recently there have been shops decorating dress forms with the skirt piece like a Christmas tree. X X X

    The pink hearts are so very pretty! I like how you used the Tarnished Brass on the lace for the skirt of the dress form, too.

    The gold embossing paste on the fabric is great. I never would have thought that it would work out that nicely. Great idea.
