Advent Calendar Window #2

Hi everyone, Becky here with the second window in our Advent Calendar.

Sandy carries so many gorgeous things in her shop, there are a few that are my favourites, but the first product I'm picking for our Advent Calendar are these pearl centers. These are gorgeous, and I need to get some more as I'm down to my last one, they look fab in flower arrangements, which I have used quite a few times, or as the center of larger flowers, like I've done today, so today's prize is this set of three Pearl Centers from Maya Road:





Here is my card.


I've used papers form the It's Christmas Time from Maja Design, the papers on the front are both sides of Merry and inside is The Perfect Christmas Tree, the Poinsettia is cut from sheets out of the 6 x 6 paper pad, and I've used a Vintage Finding Pearl Centre for the center. 


I've used some Autumn Leaves Seasonal Shabby Seam Binding, fastened it into a double bow and added a beaded center. I've coloured Tilda in with my distress markers. I've added some Gesso here and there too.

For your chance of winning, please do the following:
1) Become a follower of this blog if you're not already
2) Post our Advent Blinkie in your Blog Sidebar. The html code can be found here.
3) Leave a comment on the blog post with your thoughts on the project.

Hugs from
Becky
