Winter Wonderland 2014



"Snowflakes are like kisses, sent down from heaven"
 
This afternoon, I finished my first "Winter Wonderland" creation for 2014. So hereby... a little story going together with this little "Winter Wonderland" I created...
 
 First I started inside the ball, here I put a little paper with a vintage Christmas picture on it. After this, I used a bit of ribbon and a quote, printed on paper, which I put also in it with just a little bit of glue and closed the ball. Then I put it on the white circle. Oh, and make sure that under this circle, you use some felt pads, other wise your ball will find it's way through your room ;-)
 
 
Then I started with the outside. One important thing: you can't open the ball anymore, when it's once at the circle, otherwise you will ruin your creation. For the outside I used some clay to make the "snow", after which I put some flowers at the circle and at the top of the ball...furthermore I also used some ribbons for finishing touch :-)
