Just finished these ornaments the other day. I got the Tim Holtz clockface die last Saturday and could hardly wait to try it out. I layered old sheet music onto thick chipboard and cut out the clockface then backed it on cardstock over a piece of heavy chipboard. Another smaller circle of chipboard serves as the base for the vintage angels which have been digitally created. These are pretty good sized, about 5 inches in diameter.
I popped the inner circle with the angel on out by about 1/2 inch with a piece of foamcore board. This gave me room to tuck the embellishments behind it and gave the overall ornament some depth.
Burlap seems to be my new material of choice this season.........and cream colored thick felt.
Old lace and tulle are always a winner for embellishing also!
It's all about a touch of glitter too, right? This one has one of my prized vintage shell buttons on it.
Here's a close up of the little fellow. Don't the buttons and lace look real? There is a lot of detail in the digital collages in the center of each ornament.
