Happy Saturday Peeps!!!
This week our hostess is the fabulous Anne Marie Hile and her challenge for us is
"All Ruffled Up"~~Create a project showcasing ruffles. Whether it is ruffled ribbon, lace, paper, fabric, or ruffled embellishments.....get all ruffled up and show us what you can create. She also provided us a inspirational photo:
I thought about this "ruffled" challenge for a long time and kicked around several ideas and even made a "ruffled" card but in the end I decided to go with these fun ornaments.
I used some Candy Cane Christmas Designer Fabric from Stampin Up. I cut a long strip and folded it in half and hand stitched a running stitch down the length of the fabric stitch and gathered it by pulling the thread up.
I used my glue gun to attach this gathered strip of fabric to a scallop circle that I punched with the 2-3/8 inch scallop circle punch. I punched one with baja breeze and one with real red card stock. IO embossed both of these scallop circles with my square lattice EF.
I did the same thing with some white tulle as I did the fabric and attached with my glue gun. I used some white bakers twnie to make a loop for hanging and glued that to the back I punched another scallop circle and glued that to the bag of the ornament to cover the fabric and to give it a finished look.
To decorate the front I used the Northern Frost Sizzlits Stip Die and die cut a large snowflake using my Big Shot.
I added the snowflake to the front of the ornament with a small dimesional and added a rhinestone to the center. I then added a small bow to the top using some whisper white taffeta ribbon.
