Dasher Sweet Treat Cup Ornament - Paper Players #65

I seem to be slower than others in making cards and other 3D items using the sweet treat cups.  But now that I have started I see endless possibilities.  In this card, using the sketch challenge from Paper Players here I create an ornament, which of course is approprite for this time of year.


Stamps: Sweet Centers, Winter Post, Snow Swirled
Inks: Marina Mist, Early Espresso
Papers: Marina Mist, Whisper White, Letters to Santa designer Paper
Accessories: Sweet Treat Cup, 1 3/4" circle punch, 1" circle punch, Snowflake die #2, Starburst embossing folder, 3/8" Baja Breeze seam binding, dazzling diamonds, silver glass glitter, white acrylic paint, clear rhinestone brad, 2 1/2" circle punch


This close up of  the ornament with Dasher in it, shows a Marina Mist sky with snowflakes make using white acrylic paint dabbed on the sky using the end of a small paint brush.  The ground is covered with dazzling diamonds.
Dasher was stamped with Early Espresso ink, cut out and superimposed over the snow covered ground using dimensionals.  I also put some silver glass glitter which you can see at the bottom of the cup (you have to look carefully as I didn't want to put too much in there)

Love your take on the sketch and using the ornament as the focal image. Dasher looks perfect against that background. Thanks so much for joining us this week at the Paper Players!
