WOOHOO...it's Day 12 of the 12 Days of Christmas! It's also Christmas Eve! Lets get to the last candy drawer box die ornament... or is it the last?
Sometimes even I can inspire me with this Holiday Trophy Antlers ornament... inspired by my own creation
HERE.
The bleached wreath is awesome around the trophy antler deer.
It's hard not to ink him.
Mounted on the mini sheild, inked with ground espresso distress spray stain and added
Iridescent Shimmer. Perfect to catch the lights from the tree.
I believe...
SURPRISE... it's a bakers dozen and we have a bonus ornament!
Well, I may have had one more idea for an ornament. So, why not make it.
I had plans to ink the letterpress but after I sanded them... why! I wanted to see the wood grain, distressed paint finish and
Iridescent Shimmer layered right over top.
There are some fallen
pine cone charms in the corners. They match the hues perfectly.
The mirrored star is inked with slate alcohol ink and tucked away in the corner.
I love this little glimpse of Santa from the Merriment paper pack. All the paper used for the background is used from my scrap bin.
Well, I do hope you enjoyed my 12 Days of Christmas ornament collection. I wanted to share my love of my
Sizzix dies (by sticking with the mini ones) my
Ranger goodies and experimenting with all these fun
Custom Embossing Powders. Not to mention my idea of a festive ornament (s) for the tree.
Thanks for joining me. I hope it put you in the festive mood.
12 Days of Christmas
PIN it so you won't forget about it.
Have a Wonderful Holiday!
Before I go I want to play in these fun challenges...

ReplyDeleteAll 12 of these were so fun and great, and I love your little tree!
ReplyDeleteHi, Nicole and Happy New Year! I came to tell you how happy I was to see your blog listed on Tim's Festive Holiday Links and it didn't surprise me a bit! Those cards were fantastic! Big Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteNow about these ornaments....You know I have to write you a novel, so I won't comment on each post individually. First let me say that you have GREATLY inspired me with these, and this will be the first year that I've felt inclined to make Christmas ornaments after Christmas...usually I start my Christmas preparations by Dec. 12, IF i'm lucky! Secondly, it is on my bucket list to come visit you in your awesome craft room and peek over your shoulder as you create your magical makes! Your creative mind just amazes me! Lastly, I loved each of the 13 ornaments, and am sorry I am missing your posts. I think I am following on google +, and I just don't know how that works! I'm going to see if there is a better way that works for me. I have to say Day 6 and Day 8 are my two favorites. Day 6 for the glitz and Day 9 for the peaceful scene. Oh, and then there's Day 10 with the gorgeous trees! Oh my! They are all fabulous and I'm sure your family enjoyed seeing them on your beautiful tree!
I loved seeing that lantern on Day 2, because I never can think of a use for mine. I did use it once for a tutorial, and I haven't been able to find it since! I have all my M/S on my tool chest, but somehow this one must have fallen off and the cat's are probably using it for a hockey puck!
Thank you for all your inspiration, Nicole, and Happy New Year to you and your family!
Oh glorious! Love the deer festooned with the garland, and the sparkly 25 - I can see I've been missing real treats here... will have to do some catching up over the next few days, but I'm here this time to say thanks so much for joining us on A Vintage Journey.
