This ornament is a 3" layered circle. I stamped the top part with Hero Arts Poinsettia Circle Cling in Fired Brick Distress ink, and on the bottom I stamped Old Letter Writing in Vintage Photo. Then I distressed around the edges with Vintage Photo, added the thin brown ribbon and then attached the circle to the scalloped circle. I re-sized the image in Microsoft Publisher and reduced the brightness a bit. After printing on white cardstock and cutting it out I covered the image with VersaMark watermark ink and clear embossed 3 times to give it a shiny finish. Then it was adhered to the ornament base. I punched a hole in the top and used gold thread for a hanger. The final finishing touch was a little Gold Stickles on the poinsettia centers.
The paper that I used as a background in the photo was custom made using images from The Graphics Fairy.
Thought for the Day:
Anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person; the old life is gone, a new life has begun!
2 Corinthians 5:17
Looks great, Nancy!
