Toadally Love To Craft: Reneabouqutes Vintage Christmas Ornaments and New December Mood Board Challenge

Good morning! I am super thankful to be able to do this post today. We had a 7.0 earthquake here yesterday. Thankfully, we are all ok. All we had was a big mess to clean up. All just things. Things that can be replaced.

Anywho, we are on to a new month which means Reneabouquets has a new mood board challenge. This month, our theme is Christmas. For the inspiration project, I created three, vintage Mason jar lid Christmas ornaments.

These lids were shiny silver before I got a hold of them. I soaked them in vinegar over night and then soaked them in peroxide and coated them with salt over night. When I took them out. They were beautifully rusted. I was super excited to see the transformation. I have seen people talk about rusting things, but had never tried it. I'm sure this is something that I will be doing again. I put the vinegar in an air tight container so that I could save it and reuse it.

I cut up the Printed Beautiful Board Trellis Rose Overlay Frame to use in each of the ornaments. Let me tell you that was not an easy thing to do! That frame is soooo beautiful!

I colored the snowman's hat, scarf and nose with Copic markers. I really like the way that the markers work on the beautiful board.

The snow is a mixture of salt and glitter. I laid down a thin layer of mod podge and then sprinkled the salt and glitter mixture on the ornaments.

Now on to the mood board!

I found this mood board on Pinterest. I am in love with it! The colors, and vintage theme totally inspire me. What about this mood board inspires you? Wait!
