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.

My Time To Craft 'Clean & Simple or One Layer' Challenge

Good morning all, how are you all today?

It is time for a new challenge over at My Time To Craft where the challenge is 'Clean & Simple or One Layer', I actually didn't notice the clean and simple part until after I had made my card.

My card is really sparkly and pretty in real life but can I get a photo to show that of course I can't. I used some silver sparkle Centura Pearl card stock to make an A6 size card so that the embossing folder fitted it completely. I then used two blue, two green and a grey pan pastels to add some colour before applying glitter to all the snow parts. Once all dry I added some Crafter's Companion Silver Sparkle Spray. See what I mean all that sparkle and it can't be seen.

I even tried holding it at an angle and you still can't see it.

Supplies:-

Card Stock - Crafter's Companion 'Silver Centura Pearl'

Pan Pastels - Neutral Grey, Phthalo Green Tint, Turquoise Tint, Bright Yellow Green & Hansa Yellow Shade. 

Sentiment - Jayne Nestorenko 'Christmas Holly & Berries Spray'

Embossing - Nellie Snellen PIF003 'Snowy Cottage' 

Glitter - Baker Ross

Sparkle - Crafter's Companion 'Spray & Sparkle Silver'
