Create a stunning three-dimensional bauble ornament using hand-painting techniques on a circular die-cut. This project combines teal ink for the highlighted areas and brown for the shadows, producing a realistic shiny sphere effect with beautiful depth and dimension. The finished piece makes a perfect decorative element for cards or festive crafts.
Die-cut a circle from white card stock using the bauble die from the Decorative Baubles die set.
