Another project for Dutch Paper Crafts..and in as much as it IS my version of a Partridge in a Pear tree, it isn't a partridge and it's not a tree. LOL
What it IS, is two featured dies called Memory Box Classic Pear #98392 and Embellished Pear #98393 and i chose to make an ornament with this set. I've seen tons of things that can be made, but chose this for now...
Just a note..the pear stem and leaf are fairly small, i would put them in a secure spot so you won't loose them.
For my project i didn't use the stem, i actually went out in my yard and found a twig and i think it actually looks like a pear stem. The leaf is cut from felt, the felt was thick so it took several times to run through my Cuttlebug. I was impressed that it actually embossed into the felt as well...don't know if it will be lasting.
Other items used in this project is a digital image from Doodle Garden on Etsy called Winter Bird 1, i actually flipped it horizontally to fit on my die.
I also found the pear writing/shape (a bit different shape than the die, but close enough..and it's a freebie found at Scraps of Color Espire "The perfect pear". When i printed my pear freebie, i changed the color to sepia instead of using standard black ink.
Copics used:
bird- R14, 20, E41, 43
wing- YG01, 03, 93. 95
scarf- G21, R14
pine- YG25
feathers- YR21
beak-YR12
snowflake- C1, stickles/diamond
branch- E25
Some photos of constructing this project:
I cut the pear out of a thin corrugated cardboard and ran the gold and lettered paper through my large Xyron..I used a gold leaf pen to color the edges of the cardboard pear..don't know if it was really necessary. then i adhered the pear die cuts to the cardboard base..i cut the embellished pear die out of a off white glitter paper and a brown glitter paper and used my glue pen to adhere them. I hot glued the stem and leaf to the gold side and added a bow to cover it. i also had some pearl buds and glued them behind the bow as well. I strung up some jingle bells and also glued the string behind the bow. I colored and cut out the Winter Bird digital image.

Now you just feel free to add one of these to my Christmas package, ok? This is lovely, and I do believe it is one of my favorites from this release. It is gorgeous in its simplicity, and the two sides are so pretty together.
