Removeable Ornament Card & Tutorial

Removable Ornament Card
Hello Friends, How are you today?? Have you started on your Christmas cards yet? I really need to pace myself so I don’t get in panic mode. I have a removable ornament card to share with you that I created for the Penny Black blog today. 
Removable Ornament Card
The ornament is attached to the back of the card with tape so it can be easily removed. I rubbed Glossy Accents on my gold embroidery thread so it’s nice and stiff and feels like wire. There is a photo in my tutorial below that shows the glimmer and shine on the ornament.

I love the shape of this NEW Spellbinder ornament and I used this festive stamp called “Sparkle” by Penny Black. If you want to see a ornament I created earlier this fall you can click here.
Tape down your Spellbinder dies with drafting dots before die cutting & you can reuse them over and over. Mine were purchased at an art store that carries architectural supplies.  
Stamp your ornament with this paisley background stamp with gold embossing powder. Distress it starting with your lightest color first. 
Add more color with some daubers.  you have more control with fragile areas) Note the light areas?? Try to keep the darker colors on the outer edges so you have a highlight on your image. 
Stamp, die cut and distress your center circle. Add chipped Sapphire to the outer edges. 
This shimmer spray will transform your ornament…promise! Add some gathered twigs or any brown to the outer edges. 
I love how the shimmer spay leaves a nice and crisp, clear sparkle unlike perfect pearls. 
Paint the insides of the stamped ornaments with distress ink. Mist a little water  on your craft mat so the ink will pick up easily and paint with ease. 
Paint the inside of the ornament and add your gems. 
Don’t forget to add gems to the outside of the ornament too. 
Since this is a gift I like to use Scrap Dots on the back because they disappear and give you more lift and dimension then any foam dots. 
Stamp the ornaments at an angle and distress with Shabby Shutters first. 
Add Crushed Olive on the edges and stamp the sentiment with Rich Coco ink. (Sounds yummy)
Let me know if you have any questions. I can’t thank you all enough for you taking the time to leave  comments and stopping by. If there is something you would like for me to share, color or perhaps a tutorial on something specific please let me know. Have a happy day and here is the link to the PB blog just in case you might want it. Many thanks, Kathy

    What a wonderful gift! Anyone would be thrilled to hang that on their tree, it’s beautiful. I love the sparkle – I will have to try some of that Shimmer Spritz, I really like the effect.

    This is fantastic Kathy! I love that the ornament is removable and the shimmer is amazing. You really know how to rock to Distress Inks.

    Sparkle was one of the first PB stamps I owned . I love the way you have used Sparkle for the background & added your amber gems with the russet colouring of the ornament itself. The gold embossing with the browns & olivey greens are quite stunning & I really love the way that deep blue brings the whole design to life. The reinforced gold twine palced where you have really picks up on the gold star hanging below inside the blue bauble too – a lovely piece of positioning to trick the eye.

    Everytime I visit with you Kathy, I am awed by your talent! I don’t know where you get your wonderful inspiration (I’d love to know!)but I am grateful that you are so generous and willing to share.
    I love the G-Accents on the thread idea (fab!), love that paisley stamp (still – now I ‘need’ it) and love how your colouring is always spot on. In fact, you make colours pop the way my Mom makes pastry flake 🙂

    WOWSERS!! is this not breath taking or what??!! I’m sure if I made this it would never leave my hands….you’re such a tease to share such detailed cards, as I want to dig right in & get wasted away in paper, inks, PB stamps music & more…! Thank you ever so much for sharing your creativity..
