The Funkie Junkie 12 Tags of Christmas 2017 - Week Twelve

Hi Everyone!

Busy in the midst of Christmas present wrapping, I've got my final Christmas card to share. This one was inspired by the colours and collage style of Linda's Week 12 Tag.

I used Crafty Individuals harlequin stamp with Aged Gold Frantage EP, embossed snowflakes, and Tim Holtz patterned paper pad.

See you on the other side of Christmas! Have a merry, blessed and joyful time!

The Funkie Junkie 12 Tags of Christmas 2017 - Week Eleven

Hi Everyone!

Here's another Christmas card! This one was inspired by the colours and ribbons on Linda's Week 11 Tag.

I've used Distress Inks and Frantage EP again, with a bit of Stickles glitter glue thrown in. I used a Wendy Vecchi stamp to make my red 'ribbon'. The sentiment stamp is by Crafty Individuals, and the holly is by Tim Holtz.

It doesn't want to get light here today, so the photos aren't that great unfortunately. Hopefully you can see a bit of the sparkle.

The challenge is sponsored by The Funkie Junkie Boutique, with voucher prizes to be won.

Have a fab Wednesday, I'm off for a coffee and catch-up with some friends :-)

The Funkie Junkie 12 Tags of Christmas - Week Seven

Happy Weekend Everyone!

I'm into the second half of my Funkie Junkie cards, and here's my version of Linda's Week 7 Tag. I was inspired by the centre piece of Linda's tag.

I used Vibrant Turquoise and London Blue Dylusions Ink Sprays with a Crafter's Workshop snowflake stencil. The colour in the photo isn't true at all, as it's really very Vibrant Turquoise! I glued two tattered doily edges together, then embossed with Frantage Aged Black EP. The sentiment is a stamp by The Artistic Stamper. I finished off with some ribbon coloured with the inks, and a pearly brad.

I'm also entering my card in The Artistic Stamper's Creative Christmas Challenge.

Thanks for stopping by,

The Funkie Junkie 12 Tags of Christmas - Tag One

Morning All!

Linda at The Funkie Junkie Boutique is doing her annual 12 Tags Challenge. I'm a little late to the party, but here's my version of Linda's Tag One. I was inspired by the deer and woodland scene on Linda's Tag.

I brayered Dylusion's paints for the background, stencilled a snowy hill with Snowflake Fresco Paint, stamped Tim Holtz trees and foliage, embossing the foliage with Frantage Aged Gold. The Sizzix TH deer is painted with DecoArt Burnt Umber. I stamped and embossed a Crafty Individuals sentiment, then finished with a sprinkling of Aged Gold EP.

Happy Wednesday!
