An ornamenting device is configured for applying marking fluid, preferably paint, upon a work surface to form an ornamental image. The device includes an applicator having a sponge-like, porous body with a transfer layer and a storage layer. The transfer layer has an imprinting surface configured to apply paint so as to cover a portion of the work surface to form the ornamental image and a plurality of first voids. The first voids are generally sized so as to substantially prevent any uncovered work surface sections remaining within the formed ornamental image. The storage layer is integrally formed with the transfer layer and has a plurality of second voids. Each of the second voids is sized generally larger than each of the first voids such that the storage layer has a substantially greater fluid absorbency than the transfer layer. A holder is configured for being held by a human hand and includes at least one prong insertable within the storage layer to releasably attach the applicator to the holder. Preferably, the holder includes a dome-shaped handle, a ring-shaped base connected with the handle and having an annular surface facing generally toward the applicator, and a plurality of the prongs connected with the base. The prongs are spaced circumferentially about and extend generally perpendicularly from the base annular surface. Further, each prong is preferably generally cylindrical with either a blunt or sharpened free end and may additionally include one or more projections.
