Lili of the Valley Challenge

Hi everyone!! I'm feeling sooooooooooo much better today - thanks to everyone for the well wishes. Of course the down side to feeling better is that I have 4 days of housework to catch up on... ach!! 

Anyhoooo, I have really enjoyed my crafty days and have a little something to share today that I made for the Lily of the Valley Challenge which is "Winter Fun". I bought some LOTV stamps a while back but, of course, I have only got around to inking up a couple thus far, so I thought it was time to rectify that situation, especially as the new stamps will be released very soon, lol.

I am also entering into Papertake Weekly's Challenge - Sparkly & Bright, ABC Challenges - G is for Glitter & Simon Says Challenges - Punch 'em {use punches or dies}

Now, anyone who knows me knows I LOVE to make off the page projects, so I set to work on a Fleur De Lis Ornament - turorial by Becca Feeken - I think it looks very much like a big snowflake :D  I do love cards but I am the most patient person when it comes to templates.  However, THIS project tested me.. oooooooooh yeah!! My advice to anyone who wants to make this is to work with the centre (blue) in 2 pieces. Trying to stick the pieces together and THEN add it was a nightmare!! It's too fiddly, well it was for me anyway, as I only have 12mm tape which was way too wide. 

The Ornament in all it's glory, lol. 

To make this you need both the Fleur De Lis and circle nesties. You also need an empty ribbon spool approx 3" in diameter. I made 2 medalions, one for each side of the spool, but I kept the back side plain, with just a brad added to the middle.

And this is how it looks from the side. I've added a strip of paper around the spool where the ribbon was.
