A New Ornament for the Tree

Here is an ornament I made using a flat ceramic bulb I got at Michael's. They are in the Christmas section along with the clear glass bulbs and holiday rub-ons.



Katie brought her stamp set with her on Friday night so I could play with it. Isn't she a sweetie???



Again I used the tissue paper technique. I stamped the image on the tissue paper using black Staz On. I colored it in with colored pencils.



I set the tissue paper on top of the bulb. I centered it and ran my finger around the edge to know where to trim it. After trimming it I spread a layer of Crystal Effects on the bulb and set the tissue paper in place. I then spread a little more Crystal Effects over the top of it and while it was wet I rolled the edges in the Dazzling Diamonds. After it dried I added a little more Crystal Effects to the star and sprinkled the area with more Dazzling Diamonds. When that dried I tied a ribbon on and added a bow. It's now ready for my Christmas tree.





Thank you for stopping by,

Wanda

I love the ornament! That's my favorite stamp set!! Last year it was my Christmas card image (and quite possibly will be again this year in a different layout if I ever get to them!!). I'm going to try the image -- my sister had said she had direct-stamped with the Staz-on which made me nervous to try!! TFS!
