Flourishee Card and Ornament and GIVEAWAY!!!!

Good morning everyone!!!
Well I seem to have messed things up a bit!!!! LOL!!!
Not really bad....I just have to change somethings around.....but the good news is, that I will be doing the giveaway on blog instead.


Here are the projects I created this week....

Here are the details........

For today's project I used Flourishee Stamp Set and Ultimate Sentiments I Stamp Set.


Instructions for card:

Stamp 3 rows of 4, alternating the flourishee image on white cardstock.

Use Spellbinder S4-114 to cut the base and mat.

Lay ribbon in the middle of the card, between the stamped image and white space.

Stamp sentiment, add embellishment and TA DAH!!!!

Instructions for Ornament:

Squeeze varnish inside the ornament and turn until the entire inside is coated.

Set over a glass, so that the extra varnish can drain.

In the meantime, stamp image(s) on tissue paper.  I used Sazon, because it will NOT bleed!!

I tried stamping with SU stamps and it bled, once it touched the varnish.

Cut around your image.  Wrap the tissue paper around the end a paint brush and insert inside

buld.  The tissue paper should open up.  Use the end of the paint brush to guide the tissue in it's position. Be careful and remember you are working with tissue paper, it will tear very easily.

Once you have all the images inside the buld, pour fine glitter inside and cover the entire buld.

You can leave the ornament as is...or you can decorate the outside I did.  I also embossed the cap in black.

So what do you think????? 
Would you like to add these to your Christmas tree this year????

If so, enter via Froggy (at the end of the post) and I will pick the winner on the 18th!!!!!!

Good luck and thank you!!
