15th Christmas Ornie & Ug, I'm sick

Ug, I'm sick. I have NO energy. Good thing I've finished a few things I haven't shown you yet.

This is the 15th year I have made Christmas ornaments for my family and friends. I make about 35 of the same ornie each year, shew! This year's ornament is on a base of angel shaped wood (bought this years ago and forced myself to use it this year....can't remember where I bought it tho). I painted the wood front and back with several coats of dark purple acrylic paint. Next I stamped this holy city with my virsamark pad (I made a "jig" by tracing the shape of the angel and the correct placement of the stamp block onto a piece of paper so I would know where to place the stamp each time without thinking). I embossed with gold embossing powder. I painted the buildings black with acrylic paint and added a little white highlight of acrylic paint on the right sides. (if you get some paint on the embossing, you can just let it dry a minute and wipe it off with a paper towel. Hit the area with the heat gun for a sec to restore the shine of the embossing) Next I painted a gold acrylic paint line around the top of the buildings and smeared it into the sky with my finger to make the city glow. To finish, I added the ribbon hanger and bow.

Stamps: City of David
Ink: Virsamark
Accessories: Acrylic paint, gold embossing powder, heat gun, ribbon from Pink Hedgehog

Enjoy!
