Good morning people and thank you for joining us in this special challenge. I have played with glass etching before and so decided to try something different with it this time. Firstly I will show you my glass that I did with 4 different files from the Silhouette Store. I placed the red card inside the glass to help the design show up.

The longest part of making this was the time I had to leave the cream on between each design, I tried to do it it in one go first but of course the cream spread and left dripped marks around the bottom of the glass.

Now here is my second item which is a black 4" wall tile with a gloss finish, I did this exactly the same as the glass. It almost removes the gloss finish leaving the image looking like it has been cut out of the tile, it looks much more impressive in real life.

Supplies:-

Tile & Glass - My Stash

Vinyl - Freebie from a local designer

Die Cuts Used - Love Dance Title #44468 Miss Kate Cuttables, Dancer #47414, Dancer #41876, Dancer #47412 all by Rivka Wilkins.

Butterfly Kisses Stamp Set by My Craft Spot

Ok so this month I am sharing with you the ornament I made for my new granddaughter at Christmas. I have made these for all the great grandchildren in the family but I think I like this one the best. 

I printed her photo onto photo paper twice and backed them together and placed them into the ornament along with fine glitter for snow. I am not sure why the photo looks small in there but it actually fills the whole bauble. I then used my silhouette cameo to cut the wording pink and some pink and white snowflakes which as you can see I scattered around trying not to cover her face too much. A piece of matching pink ribbon was added to hook it onto the Christmas tree. As soon as my daughter saw it she said she wants one each year with an upto date photo in to make Mia her own keepsake tree, I actually think that is a lovely idea. 

This is the front

This is the back

Supplies:-

Ornament - The Range

Photo Paper - Poundland

Glitter - Baker Ross

Vinyl - Freebie From A Local Sign Writer

Die Cut - Snowflake #51000 by Sweet Elsie

Challenges I would like to enter this into:-

I will have a look later to see I can add this into any challenges, I haven't entered any in so long they have probably all changed.

That's all from me for today, have a good week and see you all soon.
