I got the inspiration for this ornament from Pinterest. All I did was stamp with Memento ink on Gina K Ivory card stock, sponged generously with T Holtz Distress Inks. I cut the paper about an inch longer on both ends than it needed to be, cut my thin dowel rod to the length I wanted, sanded lightly, sponged with Distress ink, and I rolled the card stock around the dowels, adhering with Aileen's Jewelry Glue. It's not necessary to use anything that strong, but I had it and decided to use it. I don't have to worry about this baby unrolling! LOL! I stamped the pinecone images from Sacred Season with Memento, colored with Copics, added white ink, then added white stickles for a nice sparkle. The twine seemed the right embellishment for a kind of rustic feel.
I am entering this in the following challenges:
Card Crafter's Circle - Vintage, Craftymess – Distressed, aged, Stampin With The Dragon - Music, nspired By - Photo Inspiration
That's it for today! I hope you all have a most blessed weekend!

A beautiful ornament simple enough to make at church or at school with children. TFS
Beautiful. Love all the details. Can't wait to see more.
This is a beautiful ornament Grace. It would be wonderful to make a whole matching set using other ODBD Christmas stamps as well as that one.
I can see all sorts of possibilities. If the stamp image is more horizontal, you could just add the verse at the bottom or top.
What a wonderful idea for church bazaars!
This is so beautiful, I just love your colour combination too.Lovely distressing and the whole piece looks perfectly aged...
