Create a chic vintage-style ornament to display or give as a gift during the holiday season.
By Jenni Bowlin
Instructions
(1) For the base, add a JBS Gold Damask Rub-On Single to the Chipboard Piece, first trimming it to fit before removing the back and rubbing it on. Sand any excess off the edges.
(2) Use the Seed Packet Ink Pad with the Blending Tool to pull ink onto the surface of the chipboard. (Note: The rub-on resists the ink and retains its shiny gold finish, even after rubbing the ink over it.)
(3) To create the rosette, punch two circles from a sheet of JBS Ledger Mini Pattern Paper and add Cough Syrup Ink to the edges using the Blending Tool.
(4) Cut a slit to the center on each circle and accordion fold all the way around. Open each piece up, then join and glue them edge to edge.
(5) Trim the photo to fit on the chipboard piece and then adhere as shown.
(6) Add German foil trim above and below the photo.
(7) Attach the rosette by punching a small circle from a JBS Mini Bingo Card and then piercing through this, the rosette center and the ornament with a JBS Garnet Pearl and Rhinestone Stick Pin.
(8) To help make the rosette stay “pointy,” keep the center high instead of pulling it right against the ornament. To do this, trim the stick pin on the back and use jewelry pliers to bend it at 90 degrees. Then use a quick-drying glue to secure it to the back (and add a bit to the rosette center in the front).
(9) To make the stars stand out on the German Foil trim borders, add just a bit of Malted Milk paint to the pad of your finger and rub it across the trim.
(10) To finish, add a vintage charm to the bottom of the banner piece and some reproduction rosary chain for the hanger.
