Hi there, it's
Tobi here with a fun
kid-friendly Topical Tuesday! I bought a package of plain, clear Christmas ornaments knowing I wanted to decorate them somehow, so really this was all just playing around...
First, we painted our ornaments with Black Gesso. Yes, there's BLACK gesso! It dries matte so I figured it would look just like chalkboard paint (because I didn't have any...).
Next, using a few stamps from
Holly Jolly Christmas, I stamped in white pigment ink onto the ornament.
Hint: don't mount the stamps on anything. Use your fingers to help the stamp hug the curves of the ornament.
So when all was said and done, I liked the clean-and-simple look of the black and white (with a touch of red) better than my attempt at colour:
