Hallo,
Well I have been absent from my blog but keeping very busy!!!
I worked Thanksgiving so we had our family turkey dinner on Sunday that weekend, this last week I had several doctor/dentist appointments (I broke a crown, not fixable so it will have to be pulled - set for Jan. then I finally broke down and went to see a specialist for my tummy issues - IBS - as I thought but Doc had some hints for me and a couple new things to try abd a procedure to rule out da bad stuff - Also set for jan...)
And inbetween all that was trying to get a bunch of Christmas ornaments done for my last craft fair which was today. All my stuff is still in the car - was too tired to unload it tonight :)
The topper for these ornaments starts with a rubber stamp from Outlines embossed in gold or silver and cut out mostly by hand. The middle circle is done with a Spellbinders die that is the perfect size.
Next I take rhinestone chrystals and some chrystal laquer and glue all the rhinestones into the spotson the cardstock.
I used beaded trims for the dangling beads - cut them apart, put a dot of chrystal laquer on each to hold the string in place and then glued them onto the 6 points of the topper..
For the bulbs I sprayed each with 2 layers of acrylic spray and 2 layers of glitter spray - adds a bit of sparkle and it also helps to make them a bit less breakable :)
As you can see I had a lot of fun with different color combos - in all I have done about 3 dozen so far - I have another 3 dozen bulbs waiting and I am determined to get them all finished before putting them back in storage.....after I get my Christmas cards finished......
Well I sold a few today, a few will be sent to family, a couiple for my tree and then I will put a bunch up on my Etsy site this weekend....
All for tonight - Take Care
Tera
