copper and black ornament

 

It is much to warm to be December!  The temperature here has been nearly 70* the last few days.  Beautiful outside, I spent some time sitting out on our beautiful front porch reading a book this afternoon.

 

I have been steadily working on making more Christmas gifts, Chad and I put our tree up a few days ago.  Here I was in the basement when I heard an odd noise followed by a “MOM COME QUICK”.  Our tree had fallen.  Chad had caught it but it required us to use some bricks from our garden to steady up the tree’s base.  It was such a pain.  We had to remove the lights and start basically from scratch.  I am still not wild about the tree’s appearance, but until my patience is built back up it will have to slightly lean for now.

 

I have seen many trends for odd colors this Christmas season, the copper and black are a very elegant paring.  I had a really nice time creating this ornament.  Once again I used the Stampin up dies and I had black and copper card stock in my collection.  These are super easy to make, in my opinion you wait longer for glue to set up than just about anything else.

 

I hope you’ll give these a try.  Stamp happy be a blessing!  Much love to all of you!
