Here I am burning the midnight candle making more glass ornaments. Somebody Stop Me! LOL NOT!
This one I used my new Elzybells stamp. Too cute!! I also used a square glass ornament. For the face color I was not sure what to do there -- so if anyone has suggestions I'm open I found a marker from Adirondack. It is made by Ranger. The color is Latte. The markers says Multi Surface Ink. All I did was heat it with my embossing to dry it so it would not rub off. I tried several pinks from Sharpie and Slick Writer - but as you can see by the dress color - it was NOT going to work for skin tone. Ewwww!! Then I finished it off with embossing glitter on the snow.

I'm so stuck on those darling Elzybells - I might just try an ornament!!! Into my fav's!!!! Hmm, a flesh colour! That would be a dilemmna - but the colour you have used looks great!!! Thanks for the hint on the flesh colour - as far as I can think of , that would be best. Tough to find flesh colour in permanet markers I would guess!!! Looks fabulous!!!!! great gift idea!! Into my fav's!!!

I love all your lil ornaments! They are so cute! I looked at each one to see if you mentioned how you got your images in there. How did you do that? They have perfect placement! Appreciate any advice. I do most of my coloring with SU ink pads and I always use Blush Blossom or Creamy Caramel, depending on the skin tone I want. After the watercolor is completely dry, I use SU pastels to add blush. These colors work great for me. I love how yours turned out! TFS

Cute! I have been tempted to try one of these ornaments - almost picked one up at Michael's today. On the flesh color... I wonder if a Copic or Prismacolor marker would work on transparency? TFS!
