Buttons and Bows

Hi everyone!

   This is the first post in a 'Tree Trilogy'! This one is a Country Christmas theme...This is one of my favourite styles...


       I twisted some card into a cone shape and glued it together.


     I painted the cone with Frayed Burlap DP  and when dry I covered the cone with burlap material.


        I decorated it with Coffee coloured crochet lace as a garland.


        I tied bows with burgundy Gingham ribbon........





   ........and did the same with gold organza ribbon


     Lots of buttons in festive colours were used as baubles



       A grapevine heart and a twine bow were glued to the top of the tree.


I decorated a mini flowerpot with Aged Mahogany DP and silver marker pen was used to decorate it.


White Fimo was used to fill the pot and a clothes peg was pushed into the Fimo, the tree rests on top of the clothes peg.


      Very simple decoration - strange to not be working with lots of inks and stamps....but it was a lot of fun!



          Thanks so much for being here!
