The Sparkles Christmas Challenge #163 has just gone live and the theme this month is
Christmas Critters.
These little birds were part of a set I recently bought from Poppy Stamps (Nordic Majestic Bloom) - though I've assembled my flower a little differently! I inverted the flower head so it resembles a bell in order to make it a little more Christmassy! I originally planned to go with a traditional red, green and gold but this bloom is so pretty I opted for pink, green and gold instead.
As I was assembling, it occurred to me an action wobbler would be perfect for mounting this pretty "bell" - it even makes a faint boing sound!
I'd like to enter these fab challenges
