Joy to the World Orange Snowflake





The square dies from Brutus Monroe 
(I never had a such a large square set)~
 are super for a graphic card.

The glittered snowflake I had laying around fit right on top~


Might as well stock up for next year, am I right?

Urban Decor




Ornaments created with Brutus Monroe products listed below~


 Brutus Monroe: Rock On,Rock Star Pets, Neon Aqua Pigments, Neon Chroma Glaze, Jawbreaker pad,Mic Drop Embossing Powder,Foundation Rectangle dies, Foundation Square dies,Alabaster Pigment Ink for edges, Slate Cardstock  Other: Crafter's Companion Dazzling Star Gemini Star dies, chipboard (recycled cereal boxes)



(black light activated)



These aren't flimsy either~each has a chipboard base I die cut with Brutus Monroe Foundation square and rectangle dies.


I used recycled cereal and snack boxes~the thickness is perfect for cutting in most machines.

Stick glue holds the layers pretty well, but I punch a hole through all the layers just in case.

Holographic bread ties were found in a local craft store, in the wedding dept.

Here's the end result: adorning a Halloween season tree for an urban vibe~
