The DILLY BEAN FRIDAY CHALLENGE 

 this week is CHRISTMAS - TRADITIONAL COLORS! 

The Dilly Bean Challenges now require that you use a Dilly Bean Image on your submission.

I used Dilly Bean stamp #509 Amalia's Christmas Lights for this ornament. I colored the image with PSE and markers. I painted the paper mache ornament red before layering on my pieces. The ornament is embellished with snowflake sequins, a circle and tag diecut, three red rhinestones (berries), baker's twine and glitter. I used glossy accents on the colored lights. It's not a good idea to apply glossy accents and then place your piece in front of fan to dry faster. My glossy accents dried faster but looks pretty wonky.

Supply List:
Memory Game Card
Poker Chip
A Stamp in the Hand rubber stamp
scrap of design paper
water color crayons

To create this fun ornament, I covered the memory game card with a scrap of design paper. I stamped the design twice on design paper. One head and bodice piece I glued to the the game card. The second piece,  I used foam dots to pop it up. I glued the arms and legs to a heavier piece of cardstock before cutting them out. I used my smallest hole punch and my smallest brads to make the parts moveable. I paper punched out the girls face and glued it to the center of a poker chip. I then used Glossy Accents on the arms, legs and her pretty face. I made a halo of rhinestones around her face and added some gold paint to her wings and the star. A small scrap of lace is glued to her waist.
