Hiya everyone. Hope your all well and in good health!! Today I've got two posts for you. The first is for a most enjoyable project I'm entering into three challenges.......
Magical Crafts Fortnightly Challenge - Recipe
Creatalicious Challenge - Something for Christmas
Saturday Spotlight with Hidden Potential - Ornament
The recipe at MCFC required a Santa or Snowman image, something sparkly, ribbon and a Xmas flower!
In addition to "Something for Christmas" over at CC, snowflakes and sparkle/glitter were to be included.
SSwHP wanted an ornament or a project with an ornament on it, bearing in mind the rapidly approaching holiday season. Now, I've never done a challenge here before but apparently all forms of artwork are welcome!!
I think I've just about got my Chrimbo cards done this year so don't want to make too many more! I love ornaments - but ONLY at Christmas time, particularly snowmen!! They always remind me of Emily when she was little as she could never pronounce the word "snowman" properly!! LOL!
Now, I MIGHT have stretched it a little here as, I've actually made a snowman - for Christmas!!
I've used googly eyes and made his nose with card, all from stash.To give him a bit of colour I've used light pink copics on his cheeks. The hat I made with stash card.

As he still looked cold, I made him a little waistcoat from glittery snowflake white felt and used ribbon as a scarf and trim for his hat. His arms are made from sparkly wired ribbon. The buttons are from my stash.
His body, head and base is polystyrene from Hobbycraft, secured with photo glue and a cocktail stick. All ribbons used, felt, flowers, leaves and broom are also from Hobbycraft
I think he's lovely and am really looking forward to putting him on display this year - just can't decide where LOL!!
Thankyou for stopping by my blog here in cyberspace, please feel free to leave a comment, I do enjoy reading them and knowing you've popped in!
Take care everyone
