All is Calm





Today I am sharing a simple ornament I made. I bought this wooden snowflake from Michaels. I covered the front with snowwriter then added some blue glitter. I added some netting and for the finishing touch I used Inky Impressions Digi - All is Calm. I stamped the back with a sentiment from AMUSE. To give the back some interest I added some dots with snowwriter to give the look of falling snow. To finish my ornament I added some sparkly ribbon. I hope I have inspired you today to create your own ornament.

Ice Skating Rachel Ornament

Good Morning,




Today I have a simple ornament to share with you. I got the clear ornament from Michaels and added some purple feathers inside. I colored my image Inky Impressions - Ice Skating Rachel with Copic Markers (E000, E00, R20, E25,E31,E50, G90, G93, G99,V93,V95)and used snow writer for the fur on her jacket and hat.

I cut her out and attached her to the inside of the silver top. I used the memory box snowflake stamp and ribbon to embellish the top of the ornament. I hope I have inspired you today. Have a wonderful week!
