12 Days of Christmas Simple Ornament

Simple Silhouette Cameo Cross Ornament from Antonella at www.quilling.blogspot.com

12 Days of Christmas - Day 8 - Simple Silhouette Cameo Cross Ornament

Greetings my friends, today is a simple ornament that you can make. I used my Silhouette Cameo to cut the shapes. Then I layered them, added lots of glitter, sequins, and gems. Perfect for adding to a card or your Christmas Tree.

I believe that the ornament shape is one I got from Bird's Cards, you have to stop over and see her site, she has so many free cut files for all occasions. The cross shapes I created myself, I would love to share them with you but the computer I used for my crafting has died. Could not save it, so I am now hoping to be able to retrieve the files off of it (I know, I should have been doing regular backups). Big sigh!

I hope you have a wonderful day!
