Altered Domino: K's Snowflake

We received over three inches of snow overnight so today I fired up the snowblower for the first time this winter.  It does a great job on even the heaviest snow so I am thankful to have it.  I've also been working on a lot of different projects but I can't post them here yet, since some of them are gifts and I don't want to spoil any surprises.  But I can show you one thing I made that is befitting of the season.

This is an old wooden domino that I altered into a small Christmas tree ornament.  I painted the sides with silver acrylic paint and covered one side with a pretty patterned paper.  (I left the "dots" side alone so you can tell that it is a domino.)  The snowflake and initial were die-cut and then dressed up with some rock candy Stickles and Glossy Accents.

Thanks for stopping by!

Supplies:
Wooden domino; Adirondack silver paint dabber; Memory Box patterned papers; Grungepaper; Nestabilities snowflake die; Cuttlebug initial die; Bazzill dark blue cardstock; weathered wood distress ink; rock candy Stickles; Glossy Accents; ribbon from Michaels; eye screw from the hardware store; Craftsman drill and the smallest drill bit in the set.
