I started by stamping the Angel from the Holiday Collage Plate #56 with Staz-On ink on a transparency. For something that sounds easy enough, I struggled a bit with it, but that is probably just me :) The image was then cut out in a circle the same measurement across as the ornament with a tab left at the top to stick up in the hanger part so it would stay upright and not shift around. After that I added an assortment of beads to the inside of the ornament both front and back of the image.
Using a thin red stain ribbon I tied a hanger on the top of the ornament. It was a bit difficult for me to photograph because this ornament reflects even the tiniest amount of light, but I hope you can get the idea of how lovely this really is.
