My Easter Ornaments arrived too!!!

I participated in a great swap hosted by Kecia of Lemoncholy's Studio. 17 participants were charged with the task of making Easter themed ornaments. They arrived today and my daughter and I spent a while placing them on my little white tree. For better details of each ornament, please visit Kecia's blog. All so different but very beautiful!! Thanks so much, ladies. I'm so honored to be in good company.

Easter Ornaments are Done!

I finished up my ornaments for Lemoncholy's Easter Swap yesterday. I think they came out pretty nice. I recycled some cardboard boxes for a foundation. Then wrapped them in pretty paper. Next I stamped a gold heart on the background of each. The picture of my aunt I altered was cut out and adhered next and put clear glitter paint on with my fingers.. Then I made a print out of the word "blessed" and stained the paper with coffee. I tore the strips and crumpled then for a weathered look. After I attached them to the background, I glued on a single rhinestone. To hang the ornament, I added cotton twine with a few beads to the top.

They are off to Kecia's house. Hope everyone enjoys my Easter Angels. Here's a few below:
