Gecko Galz Guest Artist: Christmas decorations

Good morning folks, my last day at work before 5 days off yippppeeeeee! Today I'm sharing a project made as part of my Guest Artist spot at Gecko Galz, I fell in love with these gorgeous images from the scrummy new Holiday Jewel Its  and thought they would make wonderful Christmas decorations.

I love to make altered microscope slides and the images from the Holiday Jewel Its really captured my imagination. I used Maimeri Glassy gel to adhere the images to the slide, the images were slightly smaller than the slides so I backed them with some white card stamped with tiny snowflakes from the Winter Spruce stamp set by Premium Art Brands. I swiped the edges of the slides with versamark and added silver embossing powder to seal them. I added little crow charms at the top with some narrow red ribbon to hang the decorations. At the bottom, I attached some metal filigree corners and then added some charms, silver bells and beads from my stash

I'm entering this project in the following challenges:
ABC Christmas: transparent
Christmas at Sweet Stampin: Santa Claus
4 Crafty Girlz: anything goes
Crafty Ribbons: anything goes with ribbon
Crimbo Crackers: embossing

Thanks so much for visiting today, hope to see you again soon
