Christmas Mitten Ornament.....

Good morning friends!

I'm playing with my mitten ornament again.

If you haven't seen the first one you can see it here.

Today I added a Gecko Galz image from Novembers 

Frosty collage set.

I got out my Art Glitters again for this one.

I used (305) Goldenrod, Ultrafine Transparent, around the "Merry Christmas" pieces & the edges of the mitten 

and 

(337) Challis, Ultrafine Opaque Hologram, around the edges of the "Frosty" image that I used my stub Crop-a-dile punch on.

Below you can see a close up of the glitter as well as the adorable little snowman image from Gecko Galz!

Below you can see my pompom trim that I added around the top of the mitten.

I also added a some velvet trim on top of the pompom trim.

Also in the close up you can see my rosebuds and bow cluster.

I sprayed the rosebuds with Bed of Roses Spritz from Shimmerz.

I added (142) Coral Reef Ultrafine Opaque Glitter from Art Glitter to the rosebuds.

I love the shine that the Art Glitter adds!

On top of my Christmas Twine bow is a pearl button. 

(the Christmas twine is from Really Reasonable Ribbon)

I twisted the ends of my jewelry wire hanger and the rose bud stems with the end of a paint brush.

Below is a peek at the back. 

I added the same glitter around the edges as I did in the front 

and the same trims and twine bow on top.

Have a great day!

Merry Christmas Mitten ornament.....

Happy Sunday everyone!

Today I want to show you an ornament I made. 

I started with the mitten & heart shapes from  

 Heather, my BOLB (Best OnLine Buddy).

It is part of her Shabby Vintage Ivory Christmas Ornament collage sheet.

I went into GIMP and changed the background to a handwritten image I found at Graphic's Fairy 

then added a pine tree,
 also from Graphics Fairy,
to the heart shape. 

The "Merry Christmas" I printed out from my computer.

I added a bit of glitter (313 Bayou) Ultrafine Transparent glitter from Art Glitter to the edges of my mitten and on the tree. 

Platinum Stickles was used on the edges of the Merry Christmas pieces.

Rouge Liquid Pearls was used to add the red dots along the edge of the heart.

What is Christmas decor without a little garland?

I added a bit of red garland across the top, where I had put a little bit of lace trim.

I added a medal butterfly that I painted with a little watered down gesso, 

then I rubbed off a bit of the gesso to let the medal poke through 

& added a little platinum stickles for the body.

A little bit of jewelry wire was added for the hanger.

Below is a look at the back side. 

I left it empty so you could see the image I used,

I may add more to it later.

I linked this up with 

Graphics Fairy's Brag Monday

Hope you have a great week!

Treasured Times Challenge #6

Good morning everyone!

It's time for a new challenge over at 

Treasured Times Rubber Stamping & Scrapbooking!

The rules for this challenge is to use 

non-traditional Christmas colors.

I chose to go with teals.....

The adorable stamp is

  Snow Lady "Snowie" by Terrye French.

So cute!

I colored her with my Spectrum Noir markers.

Then added a bunch of glittery snowflakes.

I also glittered her snowy face and body.

I added aquamarine crystal glitter,

 from Martha Stewart,

around the background circle on the front and the sentiment piece on the inside.

I made the bow with some wrinkled seam binding from my stash.

I hope to see you join us in our challenge,

I look forward to seeing your choice of non-traditional Christmas colors!

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Crafting!
