Alcohol Ink Monogrammed Ornaments

I bought these glass ornaments to make for the Mops (Mothers of Preschoolers) ladies  I mentor at church.   I planned to color them  using the floor wax technique but never seemed to get the floor wax.  So instead I tried dropping Alcohol Ink and really loved the way they came out.  When I dropped the ink it poured around edges and pooled at bottom which made cool effects.  I used two colors on each one.

Here are all the ornaments laid out drying.  
The letters are cut from Winter Woodland at 3 inches.  
The  Tags from Winter Wonderland cut at 2 inches page 41  and I then added mini roses to top.
For the Cricut Circle challenge this week we were to use purchased flowers.  Well I purchased these flowers over three years ago for my daughter's wedding and we still have 100's.

Then I needed to make boxes to put each ornament in. 
I used Sweet Tooth Boxes  page 60 cut at 11 inches 
I then made Tim Holtz rosette, used K and Company  embellishments 
and Graphic 45 tags cut from paper and Michaels ribbon.   
I used to make  a box like this by hand so I was thrilled how quick they cut and went together.

  7. What a fabulous idea for gifts - and the boxes are amazing too! I especially like the rosettes. How wonderful that you mentor the young women of your church. I wish I'd been involved in something like that when I had young children!!
