Mixed Media Collage Ornaments With Ali | Creating Layers
I'm back today with the next video in my series where I'm making mixed media/collage ornaments.
Check out the first post here.
In the video I'm sharing how I'm building these ornaments using layers. I also photographed each one I've done so far so you can see them up close and see the magical mess!
I think I'm at 37 on my way to 100 and I got out the gelli plate to make some more papers today.
Here's a fun image of all of them together so far:

Is it possible to share the cut file so we can participate as well?
I experimented with drawing my own ornament shape, and it worked out fairly well.I also remembered I have ornament dies from a few other sources and am going to see what I can do!
Yes, please share the cut file if there is one available, thank you!

I'm loving seeing all the ornaments together. I can't wait to get the stencil and make some ornaments. Thank you for the inspiration. I loved the dark red paint you used. Do you know what color red? Golden has several reds.
