I bought these fabulous paper mache pears with intention to do something with them for the Alpha Stamps 12 Days of Christmas event but I ran out of time.
But before I cleaned up all those fabulous Pear goodies I took a minute (or more like 30) and created this ornament.
Using the same technique I showed in the 12 Days Tutorial I covered the pear with Gold Leafing Foil (I am addicted to this stuff). I used the Holiday Phrases Collage Sheet that Laura from Artfully Musing put together especially for this Alpha Stamps event.
The Bird on Branch, while not a Partridge, worked perfectly in the hole I cut out.
Y'all know how much I love satin leaf ribbon, and I found some in burgundy to go with the fabulous burgundy tinsel and vintage lace I found in my stash. The seam binding I used for the bow and hanging device is an oliveish color.
The back is so bright and shinny it really reflects the holiday lights off the tree.
I made an extra, because I liked it so much and you can get one if you hurry from my Etsy Store.
I am going to buy it right now!
