Vintage Victorian Christmas Ornament Tutorial

Hello Friends!!
Today I would like to share with you a 
Vintage Victorian Christmas Ornament that I created using 
Gecko Galz, Graphic Fairy and other free images online.  I used some of the fabulous embellishments I received in my DT package from Pro 31 Designs (Esmeralda), to make it glamerous!
Here is a photo.
I have a tutorial below.  So you can create something similar with your own post cards, or with images and collages you create 



Hope it inspires you to create something for yourself...or as a gift!
Hugs!!

2nd Tree of Christmas & My Gecko Galz Oh la la Challenge @ Bella Creations

Hello Friends!!  Welcome to my Blog!
I have my Second Tree of Christmas ready to go today.
This is a 6ft tree that I purchase back when I was into selling Pink Shabby Roses on Ebay.  So I had a lot of pink decor.
Here is my Tree before
I just have one little problem this year with my trees.  You may be able to see it in the picture below.  Look in the center of the photo, and my new problem should be easier for you to find.  Sorry it is a little blurry but I took it in the evening, and was playing with the settings on my camera.
The Problem's name is Mr. Frankie Kittens.  If you missed the story, he was a stray kitty that had been attacked by another animal in our yard.  My kiddos caught him..and of course he became our pet.  
He is missing the last 1/3 of his tail.  It doesn't seem to stop him from doing what he wants.
Here is a photo of the top of my pink shabby tree.
The Angel on this tree and some of the other trees (I will post pictures once they are decorated)..I bought on ebay a few years back.  I got an awesome deal.  I love them!!  Here is a picture of the middle section.  A lot of ornaments are glass...and don't show up so well.
Unfortunately the bottom of my tree looks a little bare...LOL.  Just see the problem that I pointed out above as for the reasoning...LOL
I am hoping that Mr. Kittens will become bored with the trees, and then I can add some more ornaments.  Just this morning he removed all the fun from one of my primitive sheep ornies...it is now naked...LOL.  I think he needs a few more days to get over the coolness of these hanging toys...LOL.
I just stumbled upon the
PINK SATURDAY BLOG.  I have seen it when visiting some of my girlfriends blogs in the past...Micupoftea.
I hope to link up there since Pink (well...a coral pink) is my favorite color..as well as Robin's egg blue...and too many others to list..LOL.
This tree is one of 4 that will be in my NEW pink (used to be blue) dining room.
If you missed my First Tree of Christmas just hit this and it will take you there!!
This month over at Bella creations, I used some Ephemera by our sponsor Gecko Galz to create the collage sheet below for you to print out (the sheet with out the copyright is at bella creations) and create a tag, card, altered art...anything goes this month.
I just changed the post card a tad.  The original Gecko Galz one, and I created one using a Graphic Fairy image of two girls in the stamp, and one with just a red stamp.  Here is a close up of the Graphic Fairy one.

I hope you enjoyed my post today..and I hope you have something pink to share...and that you have time to come to Bella's and play in my challenge!!
