peace on earth 37

Hi there! It's time for an all new Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge! From simple paper designs to mixed media masterpieces, stamped ornaments to something you create to be ornamental - this week we are inspired by ornaments. They can sparkle, shine, be big or small - how will you be inspired this week?
I was inspired to create a timeless pocket watch holiday ornament:

As I was looking through my stash of dies, thinking which would make a great ornament, the pocket watch frame die spoke to me! It makes a great base to create a holiday ornament with. I set out to make a winter wonderland scene so I framed a tree from Christmas blueprint and filled the sky with grunge flakes.

Thanks so much for visiting! I hope you enjoyed my project and I hope I have inspired you to give it a try and join along with the Simon Says Stamp Monday Stamp Challenge! Please be sure to visit the Simon Says Stamp Monday Stamp Challenge blog to see what the rest of the DT has created!

This is fabulous, Mona! My favorite part is how you used that pine-looking garland to hang the ornament with. I would've never thought to use that as my hanger! It just seemed like a brilliant little twist from how I would've thought to incorporate pine. Well done!

Anna-Karin 36 said...

This is so pretty Mona and a great idea to use the pocket watch die as a frame.
