Tag Your It



It is a tag challenge this week at Holly Jolly Christmas Challenges. I have used an image from Sherri Baldy's My Bestie's images.  I love her cute stamps.  Check out her images here.   



I coloured my image with Copics and Wink of Stella. I layered my image on to two designer Christmas papers, add snow make out of Styrofoam I graded with a cheese grader for the fallen snow and used Chunky White Deep Impression embossing enamel for the falling snow. I added some silver glitter to some plastic snowflakes from my stash to the tag along with a sentiment and ribbon.

Embellishments, Pattern Papers and Ribbon/Twine Challenge


Create a card with 3 Embellishments, 2 Pattern Papers and 1 Ribbon/Twine is the challenge this week at Come and Get It Challenges. I had this cute image by My Bestie's that I used for the card.   I thought she was so adorable, especially with those big eyes. 

To use the challenge requirements was quite easy.  I wanted to give her a bright orange and yellow dress so I looked through my stash of papers and came up with this flower print and some suttle yellow and white pattern paper.  The sentiment is by Stampin Up and the image was coloured with Copic Markers.

In my stash also I had some yellow and orange brads and a pretty yellow ribbon to complete the card.  

Hope you enjoy my card and will join us this week at Come and Get It Challenges.
