We are also excited to have Jane (Onions and Paper) are our Guest Designer this month. Welcome Jane!
First time out for this snowflake ornament. I thought this would make a great shaker Christmas card, although I find shaker cards tediuous to make. I ALWAYS end up with glue everywhere, including my fingers and then things just start to stick together where they shouldn't. :) This one wasn't too bad. Only had that happen once while making it. :)
Layered white die-cut ornament, solid acetate (cut to fit), foam (cut to fit) ... adding the sequins, then another layer of acetate, and the final layer of white card stock ornament.
I stamped the sentiment in delicata silver and added silver cording to the top.
Here's a close-up ...
