A Christmas Ornament.......

Good morning everyone!  Here we are again at the very beginning of a brand new week!  I'm here to share with you a Christmas ornament I have made.  It could also be just a tag you tuck down inside a gift bag.  I love tags and so this piece shall probably be used as a tag for the upcoming holiday season!


This is such an easy project; I let my Spellbinders dies do most of the work for me.  I used the Heirloom Ornament die for the base and I went around the edges with a gold leaf pen.  Next I cut out the Layered Poinsettia petals using light pink card stock and while the card stock was still in the die I used distress ink to add the veins.  I didn't have to stamp anything on the flowers.  I stamped the sentiment using Tuxedo Black Memento Ink  on pink card stock then I cut it out using the Lacey Circle Spellbinders die.  The sentiment is from Heartfelt Creations HCPC 3429 Wisemen Ornament PreCut Set.    Then just tie a ribbon through a punched hole in the top of the ornament, tie some knots in the ribbon and I used Scor-Tape to hold into place on the tag.  I love the way this turned out and it only took a very few minutes.  The most time was spent trying to find my gems to go in the center of the flower and under the sentiment.
