Today I've made a couple more ornaments... I love to make ornaments out of all of my papercrafting supplies!  For these I've decorated some premade ceramic ornaments I got at Hobby Lobby.. they came as white ceramic ornaments and this is what they look like now:


So... if you didn't know it before... you know now... I LOVE gold... it's just my fave and it goes with almost anything.... no... anything!  So the first thing I did was use some shimmery gold acrylic paint and painted a couple layers on the ceramic ornaments.  Once that was dry, I stamped on the ornaments using a couple old CTMH background stamps with Memento Ink.


After the ink was dry, I used a lace stencil and added some clear texture paste to create some cool texture and sparkle without covering up the background.  You can see it a little better here:


Looks way better in person... but there it is.  And then once that was dry, I added my flowers feathers and bling.  And I'm excited to be playing along with Color Dare Challenge this week!  Love it when they include Gold in their colors and this combo is delicious in my opinion!.


Of course I added some Nuvo Gold Mousse to the flowers.  And those pretty sparkly gold leaves... cut them off of some really cool floral picks I got at Michael's after the holiday season last year for almost nothing.  And my favorite gold bling gems make an appearance as well.  I stocked up on them when CTMH discontinued them.


I used black instead of white on this one... and an extra leaf die I had cut out of gold vellum.. an extra from my table.  Like a good momma... I don't have a favorite ... I love them both equally and for different reasons... they are alike yet different!


Yum.

Now get going and check out all of today's makes by all of these super talented designers and leave them some love... because it will make them happy and because you'll have more chances to win!  And be sure to comment over at the Choux Choux Paper Art Blog for sure because that's where it all begins and how Lori will know you are participating!

WOW!!! Just amazing both the hearts! How much work behind them, but the result is really gorgous! Love the trasparent textures on them, the embellishments and all that gold! My favourite is the second one with the musical notes background, but are both stunning! Great work!
