I really like your ornament. I couldn't figure out how to PM you (I am still sort of new at this), but I was hoping you could tell me how to do this. Do you stamp on the ornament? How did you get it so perfect? I already have an aquapainter filled with Future Floor Wax !

Hi Rockseroo, Jomama & MsGretta! Sorry for the delay in replying ~ we've just moved and just got our DSL hooked up. Here are the directions for the ornaments. Please feel free to email me if you have any questions.
Here are the directions I use:
You can use acetate, window sheets (SU sells), or transparencies (I got some at Wal Mart).
Cut a circle to fit inside your ornament (I use the Creative Memories circle cutter, but others use the Coluzzle). Don’t cut a full circle ~ leave a tab at the top (this piece will stick up through the ornament opening and hold it in place). I'm not sure what size ornament I have ~ I cut a 3� circle, so I'm assuming they are either 31/2 inches or 4 inches.
Stamp your image with Stazon.
Color with Sharpie markers or pearl ex powders and Future floor wax in your aquapainter (this is what I used for this ornament). Just fill your aquapainter with Future floor wax and dip in the pearl ex powder, then 'paint' it on your image. I used True Blue for her dress, Aztec Gold for her hair, Iridescent Gold for her wings and Micro Pearl for the dove. If you use Sharpie markers, be sure to color on the opposite side you stamped (the sharpies will 'erase' the stazon and muddy your color.
Once your image is colored to your liking, roll up in a tube and drop it in the hole of the ornament ~ it will unfold by itself.
Fill with snow, glitter, sand, etc.
Put the lid back on the ornament, tie a pretty bow and viola!
