Advent Calendar Window #15

Sandy here with window 15, but before we get on with that, I’d like to take a brief moment to extend my deepest sympathies and heartfelt condolences to our American followers reading this post. I’m deeply saddened by the horrific tragedy that took place in Connecticut yesterday and my thoughts at this time are with the innocent victims and their families & friends.

Last Saturday I showed you one of my favourite products from Ranger's Idea-ology range (the film strip) and for today's project I've used another one, an Adage Sentiment Ticket. This book contains 96 tickets with inspiring words such as Wish, Love, Hope, and Dream.

For a change, I did not make a card, but actually a decoration.

 

 The base is a Rosette flower, that I made out of the beautiful sheet "Ornament" from Pion Design's Studio of Memories Collection. There are loads of great tutorials out there for how to make rosette flowers, but I thought I'd just mention that this one is approx. 17 cm in diameter and for that I cut three stripes measuring 3 inches in width (before punching them with the MS Doily Flower Punch) and 12 inches in length. 

Around the image I draped Maya Road's Tulle Pleat Trim and then the Pearl String with 2mm pearls.
Some more pearls on the image, using Ranger's "White Opal" Liquid Pearls. The image by the way is one of Elizabeth Bell's Digis, called "the Littlest Angel". The sentiment ticket was attached with a wooden mini clothes pin, that I painted white with Acrylic Paint. For decoration I've used two Poppies, and one bundle of Magnolia's Blue Vintage Berries. I draped some of the "Sky Blue" Shabby Seam Binding around the stems, and tied a bow with it. Lastly I also attached a Trumpet Charm.

Hugz,
Sandy
