Inky Impressions Ornament Challenge

Hi there. Thanks for visiting my blog today. I can't tell you how much I appreciate your visit and comments. Today I am sharing an ornament that I made for the Inky Impressions challenge blog. I don't have any of the Christmas stamps yet so I took one of the stamps I did have and altered it to a Christmas image. I apologize for the poor pictures, I just don't seem to have a knack for taking a good picture as compared to many other blogs out there - hope you are able to see it ok. If anyone has any tips at all to share with me on how to take a decent picture of my projects for my blog, please let me know! My email is angelwoodcrafts@gmail.com.


I took this photo outside hoping the lighting would be better. I'm glad the weather cooperated today, yesterday was so cold with torential downpours, today it's very mild out. I added a Christmas hat and a gift (originally she was carrying a birthday cake).


This one's a close-up so you could see Lili a little better.


Here is a close-up of the charms at the bottom of my ornament.


And here's a closeup of the wooden snowflake that I colored pink with my copics and then covered with Diamond colored stickles and embellished with pearls. I wish you could see the sparkle on the snowflake. :o(



I cut out all the holly leaves with my new Martha Stewart paper punch and added pink jewels for the berries. I colored my Inky Impressions image with copics and used lots of stickles all over my project.

Inky Impressions is having a DT call. If you are interested, visit their challenge blog and give it a try. They do have some of the cutest images to choose from. I was going to enter but then realized, I might not be quite ready for that undertaking yet. Thanks so much for visiting and please leave a comment and let me know what you think. I had so much fun making this ornament.

Happy Sunday to you, hugz, Angela
