The Pixie Cottage Challenge #98 - Holiday Decor (No Cards) or Sketch

It's Wednesday so that means another super challenge at The Pixie Cottage

The Beary Scrap - Your Beary Best (10 entries max)
Creative Inspirations Paint - Anything But A Card
Fussy and Fancy - Make a Gift/Anything But A Card
Crafts 4 Eternity - Christmas Decorations/No Cards
Hand Stamped Sentiments - Anything But A Card Ornament
Patties Creations - Christmas (two entries only)
Gingerloft - Winter or Christmas
2 Sisters - Holiday
Craft Your Passion - Tis The Season


I decided to make a box without a lid and turn it into an ornament for my Homespun style Christmas tree.

Project Recipe:
Image -
Paper - A Cozy Little Christmas by The Paper Studio
Medium - Copic Markers (for the mouse)
Ribbon - Michaels
Border Sticker - K and Co
Ornament and Bow Embellishments - K and Co
Brads - The Paper Studio


This is the sketch should you opt to make a card.





I paper pieced the stocking part of the image, such a great image to use this technique on.


Here is the finished ornament on the tree. I know there is a light near the paper, I moved it after I took the photos, I just wanted a little extra twinkling :)
I hope you have enjoyed this piece and will come over and play with us this week at The Pixie Cottage
