Trim the Tree Challenge
It's the first of the month... time for another PTI Senior DT challenge! This month we were challenged to create a fun Christmas ornament! This was fun for me because I make ornaments every year... so it was nice to get a start on it all!
I was playing with the Stained glass technique this last week and this came to my head right away!
It's a really easy technique... especially when using a few key elements. I used the Making Memories Tags with the template to trim the acetate. Next I stamped the open leaf wreath from Rustic Branches with Dark Chocolate Palette Ink. I colored in the Leaf with YG03 Copic Marker(on both sides)... then stamped the sentiment in the center of the wreath (coloring in the "O" with the R29 Copic Marker). I ALWAYS put the date on the ornament and Simple Alphabetwas perfect for this!!! After I set the trimmed/stamped acetate into the tag rim I colored the rim with the Red copic marker... set it aside to dry then attached the ribbon. Finally, I added crystal effects for the "stained glass" effect! This takes a little to dry... but it does exactly what is needed. I love the way that the light creates shadows behind the ornament... just like stained glass! What an easy little gift to tuck into a Christmas card! I plan on making quite a few of these this year!
I hope you will check out Nichole's and the other Amazing Senior DT member's Blogs to see what Christmas magic they have whipped up!
I can't believe the Holiday's are coming so soon! Hope you are inspired by the taste of Christmas!!!
