If you love cats and fairies
then you’ll enjoy creating my Flights of Fancy kitties.
You could hang them from your ceiling on clear nylon or create a mobile…the
possibilities are endless!
1. To create this hanging ornament, first drill a hole horizontally through the
top portion of the domino. Do this by first drilling from one side to the center
and then finish the hole by drilling from the other side. One of the holes could
chip if you simply drill all the way through from one side only.
2. Ink up the Kitty Luna (CH-707-H) stamp with coal black Ancient Page dye ink
by ClearSnap and stamp the image onto a new shiny white domino and heat set with
an embossing heat gun.
3. Color the image with fine and ultra fine point Sharpie markers from the
pastel range of colors. Use dark blue and purple from the original range and
navy to shade the wings and the background.
4. Highlight areas of the design with purple and blue RoseArt metallic permanent
markers.
5. Edge and color the sides of the domino with a broad point metallic silver
DecoColor paint pen.
6. To protect the design apply a coat of Judikins Diamond Glaze for a glass-like
finish to the surface of the domino. Do this by dripping a few generous drops of
the glaze to the surface of the domino and quickly spreading it around with your
finger. For a thicker coat you can spread the glaze around directly from the
bottle’s detail applicator nozzle.
7. For more sparkle and to seal the sides of the domino apply a coat of Delta
CeramCoat Sparkle Glaze with a paintbrush. The glaze dries to a clear iridescent
sparkle.
8. Embellish the stamped star between the wings with a Stampendous silver star
sticker.
9. Cut three lengths of a fine silver wire.
10. Wire wrap three glass stars and twist each end around the main portion.
Apply a dab of Judikins Diamond Glaze to the wrapped wire ends to prevent them
from unraveling.
11. Adhere the wires to the back of the domino with E-6000 glue. I covered the
wires with my signature label to hide them. You could also try hiding the wires
by covering the back of the domino with color coordinating papers, suede paper,
felt or fabric.
12. Finish off the hanging ornament by threading a length of clear nylon
(fishing line) through the holes and secure with a knot. Dab some glue onto the
knot and push the knot back inside the hole to hide and secure it in place.
