Christmas decorations

Well, I have been busy!  Not sure which one of these to enter for the Christmas decoration class in our regional Women's Institute competition - unfortunately, it can only be one.  The silver dove was so easy to make from silver card, embossed and rubbed over with black acrylic paint then wiped off so it looks like metal, clever eh?  The little tree took absolutely ages to cut and fold all those little strips of paper but once I got to attaching them to the polystyrene base, it was quite quick.  The bauble was made following the instructions here from Vicky at Blush Crafts.  So grateful for those otherwise I wouldn't have known where to start sticking the sections together.  Hope you see something you like.



Thanks for stopping by.
