Mrs Claus Tea Light Ornament

I thought Santa needed his mate so I

made a Mrs. Claus Tea Light Ornament!

 

When I say the pictures don't do this beauty justice I mean it!

She is just as cute as can be in person.

 

Besides having no photography skills, I usually finish up my

projects when it is dark and have to take pictures under

energy saving light bulb and try to correct

the color and brightness in my photo editing software

which I'm not good at either.

 

 

When I made her glasses I used Glossy Accents on the

lenses.  It was looking so good until I got impatient

to put her all together.  I used my heat gun to hurry up

the drying and it started to bubble up.

 

I don't know if you can see in the picture but there is

definitely texture to her glass lenses.

In the end, I thought it looked like she was outside

in the cold and they frosted up.

Well, that's my story and I'm gonna run with it!

I used a silver glittered cardstock for the frames

of her glasses and I really like how those came out.

 

I'm not to sure about the mouth piece. On the

next one I may just draw it on and see what it looks like or

just use black cardstock instead of the pink.

 

I was going to use my sewing machine and do some

decorative stitching on her hat but changed my mind

and used the maribou trim. I trimmed it down so that

it would be the proper scale for the bonnet and I now have

itty bitty feathers all over my craft room.
