Hello everyone! I welcome you to join me today in kicking off this holiday season in a classy way. Need decor ideas? Well, you have come to the right place. Today I am sharing with you a wall piece I made for the always inspiring Academy of Scrapbooking and Arts Blog. I'm thinking of traditional Christmas, what do you think? The photograph and colors just give me all the warm feels of a holiday filled with all things cheerful and memorable. Since there is an ornament in the photo, I decided to take the challenge a step further and alter a large wood shaped ornament. A home can never have enough warm holiday cheer on the walls. Come along with me and get inspired!

3. Apply a layer of the glue to the top layer as well to protect it
4. Now alter your chipboard piece using some acrylic paint
5. Splatter the surface of the ornament with the same paint
6. Distress the edges using the oxide ink
7. Lay down your chipboard piece and layer your flowers with leaves using your favorite adhesive
8. Lastly, embellish it further by randomly adding some glass pearls and jute string
