Anything but a Card for Poppystamps

Hi all - over at Poppystamps Challenge #123 they're doing anything but a card. A lot of people were doing tags but I decided to try an ornament.

Supplies: Paper - Neenah white; 

Hero Arts glitter; scraps

Dies - Poppystamps Sweet Nordic Snowman

& Basic Ovals Set

Other - Snowflake and gem from the stash;

$1 monogram ornament from Target; Copic markers

I was thinking of different ways to do an ornament. While shopping today, I found some acrylic monogram shaker ornaments in the Target Hot Spot. For just a dollar I figured I could mess it up and not lose a lot of cash. Decided to cover the front and still have the depth of the acrylic shaker to see from the side. 

I cut the snowman bits from scraps and assembled. Some of the scraps were a pale aqua which I used that way, plus I colored some pieces deeper aqua shades with Copics. The pink scarf was from a scrap of watercolor paper that I'd painted pink at some point. 

I die cut an oval and glued it to the ornament front then added a glittery snowbank to the bottom which I round more to the O shape. Noticed at the top right that a bit of the O showed so I added a snowflake. Here's a view of the ornament back:

The shaker bits inside are thin glitter. I specifically chose the letter O since I wanted to cover it up. On some of the other monogram ornaments you could leave the letter showing and just add to it - might try that next!

That's it for today! Thanks for stopping by & I hope you're having fun preparing for the holidays!!
