Day 11 of Advent

Today has been one of those days where everything I have touched has fallen out of my hands or gone wrong! Must be a woman thing! I took myself out this afternoon to get some air, and do a little bit of Christmas shopping. All I managed to get was a chocolate yule log and some icing sugar in preparation for making something for Christmas!
Today's winners of the blog candy (who will get a little bag of beaded chain each) are....*drum roll*...
Debbie    and     Nikki
Congratulations! Please email me your snail mail addresses so I can send your blog candy to you.
I liked the ornament so much yesterday that I used a square one today with clear utee, and dropped in a little bit too much of green To Dye for Ink from Ranger to colour it-oops! Came out very dark green! Be careful if you add coloured ink into clear utee as it has to the right ink. Otherwise it may cause you problems. 
This time I used a texture mat Christmas tree from CaroLines, and using a dry paintbrush coloured in the trees with our gold mica powder paint to highlight it. It is not the best picture I have taken, and doesn't really show it very well. You can also remove it from the frame and punch a hole in it, to hang. Might try one of those tomorrow :)
If you would like to win this ornament, all you have to do is post a comment or be a follower, and it will be winging its way to you on Saturday! Winner anounced tomorrow evening.
Happy Creating!

What a great little forest of Christmas trees. Love the effect. I didn't get time to 'play' with any UTEE today to emulate your work - and our Christmas tree still waits patiently in the garden. Where do the days go?

this is such a wonderful ornament. I was looking at pendants today that sort of look like this. What a neat little sidline that would be.

Oh boy ... don't you just hate when you have days like that?
However you obviously made up for your failings in the 'shopping department' with this stunning little beauty. It's gorgeous!
