Good morning lovelies! How are you today? I'm going to be in a bit of a frazzle probably as its the school Christmas fair tomorrow and my right hand lady is poorly. Still we'll just keep calm and carry on and do the very best that we can!!!! I'll let you know on Sundays post how it goes - but if I'm a bit late/absent with commenting please forgive me!
Onto today - I have a card to share with you largely inspired by the Funkie Junkie 12 tags of Christmas challenge - week 8. I'm slowly catching up but am still a little behind! On this one I took the inspiration from the snowflakes and santa and the colour blue that you can see here on Linda's tag.
I've cut a mat using my mums latest spellbinders die and onto that placed a mat that I created by using the chocolate baroque snowflake stamp with versamark and heat setting with white opaque wow powders. Then I used DI faded jeans and salty ocean and smooshed it over the snowflakes. The top image is a stamp from crafty individuals and has simply been stamped in sepia archival ink. The card base I have made from centura pearl card and used vintage photo and tea dye DI around the edge then stamped a clarity corner all around the edge to build a border. This is in vintage photo - i used primary and secondary stamped images too. I added the twine and the bells and the sentiment and voila! Job Done!
I'd like to enter this one for the following challenges:
