Materials:

• Plain porcelain ornaments (for crafts)
• Snowflakes rubber stamps
• Pigment inkpad (I used the blues and silver on a Petal Point pad.)
• Embossing powder (I used Hologram Highlights, which is a clear embossing powder with some hologram glitter added.)
• Embossing heat tool
• Oven mitt
• Ribbon

Directions:

1. Using the pigment inkpad, stamp your image on the ornament. When stamping the snowflakes, I used the Petal Point pad to make the snowflakes different colors. I also stamped some snowflakes so that they went off the edge of the ornament.

2. Sprinkle the embossing powder over your image, and tap off excess powder. (Tip: Fold a piece of paper in half and then place it, opened, under your project. After putting powder on your image, tap the excess powder into the paper, pick up the paper and bend it on the fold a bit so that the powder falls into the fold, like a gutter. This makes it easier to pour the excess powder back into its container.)

3. Hold your ornament while wearing the oven mitt, and use your embossing tool to heat the powder for several minutes. The powder will eventually "emboss," turning shiny and sparkly.

4. Let your ornament cool, and then add a ribbon for hanging.
