This year I have really been trying to concentrate on vintage inspired ornaments....... I really have been loving the shapes of stars and I have been trying to create new innovative ornaments with a vintage touch.............This is my most recent star adventure....................
These stars are chipboard I cut from a pattern, with vintage (mozart) sheet music as the background, I made the tissue circle to highlight the vintage ephemera, the crepe paper is surrounded with tinsel, the sides of the star are embellished with german glass glitter (my all time fav, love the sparkle on the tree and how it changes with time), I love the overall look of this ornament and it looks great on the tree, the jute tie adds just the right touch of rustic!!!

I love these ornaments. Great shape and use of the vintage images on them. And the crepe paper behind them is so pretty!

THESE ARE STUNNING!!! I love the sheet music and the glitter. The little angels are my favorite. What a lovely addition these will be to your tree.

Lizzi I am showcasing your matchbox Day 3 on my blog.
It is very difficult for me to comment on typepad blogs .. it takes a bit of time for a blogger user. If you aren't getting a lot of comments this might be why.
Love your ornaments !
