Our granddaughters were here for the weekend and we had a great time Christmas shopping, watching movies and making Christmas cards & ornaments. I did the stamping & embossing for the girls, but they had fun picking out their colours and then cutting and decorating ! They were SO excited to show my step-daughter & son-in-law their creations !
I also managed to create an ornament for the Outlines Challenge this week. All the information is here at: Outlines 'Hang it up' Challenge. No cards - only ornaments qualify !
The Outlines Website has great instructions to create various ornament toppers. Refer to the link above for all the info and to see the beautiful ornaments by the Outlines Stamp Design Team.
I used Outlines Jewel Topper I-1067 stamp to create my ornament. I stamped & embossed in gold twice on blue and three times on platinum metallic card stock. I used Mica Colour - Interference blue paint to add shimmer to the blue card stock (hard to see in the photo).
It was fun putting the ornament together by cutting out the pieces and layering as the photo shows. I added some large rhinestones and then used a Viva Decor Pearl Pen - Cream to add most of the 'jewels'. I also used Pool Smooch Ink at the top of the ornament.
Thanks for stopping by and have a great day !

Hi Shirley!
What a brilliant idea for a Chrismas ornament and my goodness it is just beauuutiful! I looove what you did to it!! The blue is such a beautiful tint of blue, and the metal card stock is indeed necessary, but what a good idea! Well done as always! Stunning indeed!

Shirley,
I adore everything about this. The colors, they pearls, the crystals.... all beautifully done and everything looks in perfect balance! The colors make me think of a Blue Spruce Tree!
SO wonderful to share this craft with your grand daughters and they left with something they made and were proud of!!!! Love it!
This stunner was worth all your efforts...Gorgeous!
What a gorgeous and inspiring ornament Shirley!! Looks like something I could do with the kids at school at Christmas. Thanks for the inspiration!So glad you got to the water this weekend.
