Nordic House Christmas Ornament

Posted on October 14, 2009November 17, 2013 by jenny

Continuing the theme of Christmas then, as we’ve decided it’s not too early to mention it… I made a lovely ornament using this tutorial from the Orange Flower: Sketchbook blog. What do you think? I hope my swap partner likes it 🙂
