Vintage Ornaments with Shimmerz

I recently purchased the Christmas postcard kit from Crafty Secrets and had a lot of fun Shimmering them up with Shimmerz paints and spritzes and Martha Stewart glitter. This is a wonderful kit that I highly recommend to anyone who likes vintage images. I blogged about this in more detail on the Shimmerz blog.

Here are the ornaments that I made.



You can see the beautiful iridescence from Shimmerz Blingz in the close-up.


I think that this one is my favorite. Those birds and that deer just melt my heart.


I used Shimmerz Blingz on the birds to give them extra sparkle.


The tinsel around the edges is from Melissa Frances. Isn't it beautiful?


More Gold Glimmer Blingz for sparkle.


This is one of my favorites too because of the cute children.



This is what the back look like. The kit came with all those stamps. Isn't that the coolest thing?


I used silver chenille stems as hangers for most of my ornaments and while I was heating up the embossing powder around the edge of the postcard, I discovered that silver chenille melts too! It changes into a more vintage looking silver that I'm totally loving. You can see it in the picture above. This may or may not be safe so please be very careful if you decide to melt your chenille, okay? I don't want anyone to inhale toxic fumes or burn their house down.

Happy Christmas!
