could I also have the directions, I am curious what size ball you have and since I have never done that tech. I would love the directions, I am thinking of doing it for my stampers group.
Thanks so much

I am a SU demonstrator and would love to know the specific directions for making this. I have this stamp set and the aqua painter full of floor wax. Did you stamp on the transparency with black staz-on and color with pearl ex and slip your circle into the glass bulb? Please email me with specifics. Thanks. [email protected]
Christi, I'm new to stamping so I am not sure what some of the products are that you used for this wonderful ornament. I would be thrilled if I could get directions as to how to make it. What a lovely ornament to put on a package.Thank you, Nancy

Thanks Nancy! 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 ½ circle, so I’m assuming they are either 3 ½ 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! J
Please feel free to email me if you have any further questions.
