It's Linda with another Globecraft Ornament! I'll tell you, these things are so addicting. I am having so much fun creating these little ornaments that I call Victorian Gewgaws. Yes, it really is a word - look it up!
For this ornament I used the new Globecraft Memories Horizontal Blank Ornament along with our Piccolo Enamels. I love the finished results!
Here's how it's done:
Brush the inside back of your globe with a thin coat of Globecraft Memories Glossy Glastique and sprinkle on some glitter. I used Art Glitter Vintage Glass Glitter no. 623, Rose Bud. It's a beautiful pinky-purple color.
The clip art is from Crafty Secrets and I simply fussy-cut around the image till it fit the inside of my globe. I like to add a tiny amount of dried moss to help hold the image up and keep it dimensional. I cut the phrase to fit so that it has a slight curve and glue it in place at the very tips.
It was okay but it didn't really fit with the glittered back - it needed a tad more bling! I immediately went to our Enchanted Aubergine Piccolo Enamel Powder. I love the texture I was able to achieve because of the dry embossing but also because when adding two-to-three layers of Enchanted Aubergine you can create even more texture! Look at all that juicy goodness!
The next step is assembly. Follow the package instructions for easy assembly. I like to secure mine with clothespins or binder clips while the glue sets up.
It takes but a few minutes for it to set and then I like to add beads to a jewelry wire for hanging. I'm not a beader and my wire finishes leave a whole lot to be desired so I always hide it under a big pretty ribbon bow! Love the way this one turned out and how the light filters through the glittered back. How about you?
