Fabergé-esque

Hi everyone! Mother's Day is just around the corner and I wanted to make something very elegant and pink for my wonderful mother-in-law. I have always been fascinated with those gorgeous FabergĂ© Eggs and so that is what inspired my little ensemble today using the Happy Mother's Day set from Our Daily Bread designs and this week’s MMSC48 (even though it's round!):

It’s difficult to see in the photo, but I sprayed Tattered Rose Glimmer Mist over the silver embossed wreath.

I've had the Prima Flowers of the Month Collection for several years and I thought it was time to stop hoarding! I have all 12 months of the collection so I had plenty to work with :).

I bought a 5" round styrofoam ball and attached a decorative trim as a handle using two extra long pins. I then proceeded to cover the styrofoam with my Prima flowers with short flathead pins. Juts go around and around and around until you have covered it completely.

So break out with all your Prima flowers and have some floral fun!ODBD 076

It took me quite a while to complete it, but my mother-in-law is worth the extra effort and I'm happy with how it turned out :).
