I made this card and ornament for several challenges. I used the MMSC28 sketch, I used Design Team mate Betty's color challenge CC245(SCS) for my colors, and I made an ornament which is presented on a card to submit to the Verve Home for the Holiday's Project Parade.
I have to say I love how this one came out...and that's not something I say too often. I purchased a glass ornament from Hobby Lobby. I used the Nov. release from Our Dailly Bread designs, Luke 2:11 for my image and stamped it on Watercolor paper and watercolored with inks and cut out. I painted on a thin coat of Diamond Glaze to adhere my image to the ornament after cleaning the glass real well with glass cleaner. The base of the card is Papertrey Dark Chocolate, then the designer paper is K & Co. Evergreen. I dyed ZVA white pearls with Ranger Cranberry Alcohol Inks and attached, then I added punched leaves and boughs that I sponged with Always Artichoke (Martha Stewart Punches). The main panel is up on thick dimensionals and lots of them to give support to the glass ornament, and the ornament hanger cord is taped to the back so it can be easily removed without taking the panel apart. I added some gold beads, Stickles to the edges of the petals that I had painted green, and a gold ribbon.
I hope you like my project and thank you so much for taking a peek! God bless your day!

This is so creative.. Really great way to use that ornament.. I love the colors too.. Such a splendid 3D effect... Super job Grace.
Hi Grace,
In answer to your question about making Pretty Little Things with Glass Drops...
I painted the PVC glue over the entire image to adhere it securely to the glass drop. This is necessary because the ribbon and felt backing will be secured to this as well. Try a tiny glass drop first until you're confident that your glue will work. Another reason why I color with pencils instead of markers, because they won't smear when you paint the glue on top. My PVC glue dries VERY quickly. It's specifically made for paper and bookbinding projects. I left more info about the glue on my comment on my blog. But I imagine that any brand of PVC clear drying glue would work.
I look forward to seeing your Pretty Little Things!
Hugs!
This is stunning Grace!!! I love your ornament!! It turned out beautifully even prettier than what you described!! Gorgeous GF!!!
