The Blog Hop begins at Zva Creative's blog! Be sure head on over to check it out! Leave a comment there for a chance to win an extra prize package just for visiting the blog and telling us that you stopped by! You will also find a complete list of all the participating blogs there (in case there is a glitch along the way).
As you know, Zva offers many beautiful color groupings for pearls, flowers and crystals. If you like what you see along the hop you can find a list of stores and online retailers that sell Zva HERE.
Supplies used:
CRW-05CA-133 Symmetrical Flourish in Jet ( used in my wreath bow)
CRS-04CB-113 Flourish III Olive Crystals ( used along the side of the reindeer)
CRW-04CB-123 Dots, Crystal iridescent .3cm (used in his eyes, hind side and antlers)
CRB-04CB-112 Imperial Champagne/Chocolate (on forehead/nose and a piece on his hind side)
The little critter started off this way. I snagged him in my back yard. It's deer hunting season where I live. When we catch a deer, there's no eating him, just decorating him. Not to sure about reindeer, but then again no reindeer live in my area, so in he came.
I did something a little different with the CRW-05CA-133 (Symmetrical Flourish in Jet). I wanted the crystals to be three dimensional so I left them on the plastic backing and simply cut around them. You can see a bit of the plastic below in the photo, however in real life, they are perfectly clear and very cool.
This is a better photo showing how I cut around the black crystals to add dimension to my creation.
For a dose of holiday inspiration from our design team, just follow along the blog path. I am linking to one of the Zva designers and that designer is linking to the next and so on. Be prepared to be inspired along the way!
The Blog Hop starts today, November 26th and runs through midnight US Eastern Standard Time on Tuesday, November 27th.
