Inspired

Here is a quick and easy ornament using the beautiful G45 papers. I was totally inspired by Elise Blaha and her favorite ornament from last year: Elise's favorite handmade ornament 2007. I contacted her and have gotten permission to post this making sure to link to her blog and credit her with the idea for the ornament.

You need:
1 sheet of beautiful G45 paper
1 circle punch, any size (I used 1 1/2")
Fluid Chalk for the edges
Glitter pen
Adhesive
Scrap of ribbon about 6" long

1. Punch seven 1 1/2" circles.
2. Ink the edges with fluid chalk (Colorbox Chestnut Roan).
3. Go over the flowers with a glitter pen (Gelly Roll by Sakura).
4. Glue all but the last one back to back.


5. Insert the ribbon in the middle making sure to catch some of it in the adhesive.


6. Adhere the last two circles.


Done! You and you family can do a whole tree-ful of these lovely ornaments in an evening.

Happy crafting!
