Christmas Blessings

These three blank ornaments were in my bits and pieces idea, and I had a fun idea to stamp some poinsettias.  I have to say it turned out even better than I anticipated; in fact, I LOVE how it turned out!

 I stamped the images on the ornaments, then colored them with my spectrum noirs, then restamped over the top (using my stamp-a-ma-jig) with versamark ink so I could emboss the images with some gold tinsel embossing powder.  The sparkle on this is amazing!!  You can see it in the photo below.

Down the side I used one of my patterned paper scrap strips.As I said, I just love how this one turned out.  And I got to use some items from the bits and pieces stash!

As You Like It--Favorite: birthday or Christmas and why?  I do enjoy making birthday cards, but I love Christmas cards (I need more of them, so that works out, too).  I love that you an use as much sparkle and glitter as you want.  AND Christmas is about the birth of Jesus and I LOVE celebrating that!
