Christmas Tags

Good morning all! It'sMonday already!

The weeks are flying in!

It's time once again for a brand new challenge over at Eureka Stamps!

Our theme for this week is:

#169 Christmas Tags

Here's my little tag:

The image I've used is 2501 Cat With Garland & I've also used the 

sentiment 23703 Meowy Christmas. (I've rotated to make it straight),

I used Kraft cardstock & a spellbinders tag die for the base tag.

I then used some sequin waste as a mask & daubed gold pigment ink & red

liquid chalk ink through in slightly different areas, to give a feeling of added dimension

The image was coloured in areas using alcohol markers.

I used a scalloped oval to cut it out & edged everything with the gold ink.

The image & sentiment were popped up on foam pads for dimension,

then I added some fibres, ribbon, gold braid & a little jingle bell

to finish it off.

You can see the gold shimmer a little better in this photo!

Thanks for popping in!

I hope you can play along in our Christmas Tags challenge,

Good Afternoon all!

I'd like to share this card that I made with you all!

It was for a friend at works mum.

The lady is a certain age & I have include some self adhesive glittery numbers to attach 

but for the purpose of my blog, we have left them off!

It's quite a simple round card, made with pearlescent cardstock.

I cut two circles using my Scalloped Circle Grand Nesties, 

I scored one so it could fold & adheresd them together.

I added a smaller scalloped circle in pearlescent pink.

The sentiment was cut using my Nellie Snellen framie die.

It was printed onto the white pearlescent card.

 The font I used is Sunshine Poppy.

You can download it for free here!

It's one of my favourite fonts!

Embellishment wise, I added some flat backed pearls around the pink circle,

a flower which was hand made by Lee AKA Crafty Loops (Thanks Lee!)

& some  leaves which were punched from the pearlescent card stock

the coloured with a promarker.

I also added a little chiffon ribbon double bow.

The inside of the card is decorated too but sadly the photo was blurry

& I have already handed the card on so can't get another!
