Memory Box Merry Christmas

Hi.  I'm so glad you stopped by!


I recently borrowed a mini compressor from a friend and played
with alcohol inks! I used the compressor to blow the ink and alcohol around.
Where the ink was thick and sticky, I rubbed some Deco foil. I love the look! 

I've cut this beautiful ornament from the alcohol pieces and popped it atop
 a new embossing folder from Memory Box. Thanks for the enabling, Tina.  I
think I'll be using this a lot!

Challenges:
ABC Christmas - PQR are for...(Red Ornament)
Memory Box #64 - Happy Holidays
Rudolph Days - Anything Goes Christmas




Thanks for the visit and special thanks for your comments.

Enjoy!

Love what you did with this die, one of my favorites. You accessorized it beautifully and love it with the alcohol ink. That bold red looks gorgeous!

Leslie Miller said...

This couldn't be more beautiful! I'm loving the red, white, and gold. Your AI ornament reminds me of those hollow clear ornaments that you can put inks in and roll them around to get similar patterns. I hope that made sense.

Brenda said...

Wow, your Christmas ornament looks amazing, Bonnie! The wonderful AI effect and foiling gives the ornament a glass look and I love it! The gold foil die-cut outlines and the dry embossed background are really showing off the beauty of the ornament.
