Inspired by Funkie Junkie 12 tags of Christmas week 10 and a commenters candy

Good morning to you lovely people! How are you today? I hope you are well and feeling happy! It was such a beautiful day here yesterday - full of blue skies and crispness - perfect for a run with my friend sue - when I got home I made peanut butter cookies - they're delicious!!! Great for replenishing that lost energy - lol!!!! Thanks for all your kind comments on yesterdays card - and also Penny's piccie. I've got one to show you of Lucy today - she was a princess/eastern dancer.





I'm afraid I'm responsible for those eyes - they were meant to look egyptian!!!! I couldn't get one of her during the play - she seemed to spend most of the time out of view!

Today I've got a card to share with you inspired by tag 10 of Linda's tags over at the Funkie Junkie 12 tags of Christmas challenge sponsored by the thefunkiejunkie Boutique. You can see Linda's original tag here - I took inspiration from the holly background, the bow and the focal sentiment plus the script in the background.


To make my card I used a kraft card blank and stamped over the back in teadye DI with a script stamp. Then I used an imaginationcrafts Holly Border mask and worked pine needles DI through the mask using cut and dry foam. Next I coloured the berries red then added the sentiment which is from pinflair and was cut with a spellbinders die. Then I added the bow and the poinsettia.

I'd like to  enter this card into thefunkiejunkie challenge-12-tags-of-christmas week 10.

I also have a commenters candy to share with you today. Celebrating my GDT spot at That Craft Place I have some of their lovely goodies to give away to one of you. They have so many wonderful items - why not have a browse at the shop here .... They are also super friendly and helpful!  Here's the candy:


The candy consists of a mask, two diecut hearts, three trinkets, two metallic tags and some lace.

If you would like to be in with a chance of winning this candy you need to be a follower and leave a comment on this post. I will draw a winner on Wednesday 18th December and hopefully get it in the post to reach you before Christmas - post willing of course!

Thanks for dropping by today and I hope to see you again soon! Big Hugs Rachel xx
