Simon Says Stamp | Jingle all the Way

Hello there, today I have a card to share with you using the new Simon Says Stamp Holiday Messages Ornament set which is out today as part of the new Peace on Earth release. I think you could use this set in lots of different ways, but I thought it might be fun to try and make it look like the ornament was glass or frosted glass instead of a colour. 

PLEASE NOTE: This post contains affiliate links. Please see below for my full disclosure.

I started off my card by taking a panel of Tim Holtz Distress White Heavystock and blended Distress Inks on top. I used Mermaid Lagoon in the centre, followed by Blueprint Sketch, Seedless Preserves and then Black Soot around the edges. I took the panel to my splat box and first splattered it with water and then with a generous helping of Sheer Shimmer Spritz and set it aside to dry. 

Once dry, I stamped the circle ornament shape from the Simon Says Stamp Holiday Messages Ornament Stamp Set on top with Hero Arts Unicorn White Pigment Ink. This did take a little while to dry but once dry, it has a lovely transparency to it which is what I was looking for. Once dry, I stamped the sentiment from the set inside the circle, as well as the ornament topper using Versamark Ink.

I applied Hero Arts Silver Embossing Powder and heat set. I pierced a small hole below the ornament topper piece and threaded Altenew Metallic Thread through and secured at the back. I then threaded another piece behind and tied in a double bow at the front. The panel was adhered to an A2 white card base with foam tape.

I am not sure I completely achieved the whole glass ornament thing but I am happy with how the card came out. It is difficult to see in the photos but the card is so sparkly in real-life! I hope you will check out the rest of the fantastic release. Thanks so much for stopping by to see me today, I really appreciate it. See you later for an Altenew blog hop.
