New release at Crafty sentiments: Christmas rush

Hello lovelies - its time for me to show you the new release at Crafty Sentiments called Christmas Rush and you can get it here. It was in the shop on the 22nd but the day to show you this little beauty is today. Three of us from the DT (the mulled wine drinkers) were charged with coming up with a a common theme each and adding it to our projects. See if you can work out our common elements on the inspirational blog here. Here's my make:






This is a money box for helping me save for Christmas - woo hoo - I definitely need it! Anyway - so what have I done? The box was from the MDF man and was painted with gesso then pebeo acrylic paint. I stamped some script then used an imagination craft stencil called 'the clearing' with sparkle medium. The roof was tiled with sequins and the brass star on the front was covered with versamark and lilac wow powders were added. and heat set. The stamp was coloured with promarkers and fussy cut and added to the moneybox.

I'd like to enter this into the following challenges:

WOWwowembossingpowder: Stars and stripes- I have one star and a striped roof)
Crafty Catz: craftycatzweeklychallengeSpots and stripes ( my spots are in stripes)
Crafty Ribbonscraftyribbonschallenge: ABAC
aud sentimentsaudsentimentschallengeblog: Christmas
Allsorts CBallsortschallenge: Treemendous
Sweet Stampinsweetstampinchallengeblog: wood, trees and leaves
craft-roomchallenge: stencil or mask

Thanks for joining me today and hope to see you again soon!

Big Hugs

Rachel xx

    This is gorgeous Rachel. I love the sweet image and pretty colours. It must have taken you ages to stick on all those sequins but well worth it as the effect is fabulous.
