Make an Ornament!

Hey all! OMG-I just went on my blog and I posted this for July 18th instead of the 17th-no wonder I couldn't see this post-jumping ahead of myself here! This creation for Totally Tilda's challenge was supposed to be posted this morning!! Oy vay! So this is the challenge-make an ornament using a Tilda image of course! I used an old CD -passed a ribbon through it, glued a doily behind the shiny side ( it looks really shiny and glittery when it turns and catches the light) and then some DP on the front. Add Tilda and some WOC flowers and voilà! I'm pleased with the result! Hope u like! xox Trish :)
