Dreamweavers Stencil Ornament



The Dream It Up Blog is having a Christmas in August challenge. This is a flat porcelain ornament. I covered it in alcohol inks using the Polished Stone technique. Then I taped the antler snowflake Dreamweavers stencil in place and sponged liquid adhesive on the surface. I let it sit for 30 minutes to get tacky, then applied silver leaf. Finished the edge with a silver paint pen and tied on some metallic ribbon floss. It was difficult to capture a good photo that shows the shine of the leaf and the glow of the inks!

A friendly welcome from BC Charmaine! I love your ornament. Polished Stone and Silver Leaf...definitely would be shiny! I think I will have to get myself some of those porcelain ornaments.

Gorgeous ornament. The blue colors are stunning and the use of metal leafing for snowflake really complements the polished stone!
