12 Tags of Christmas Challenge

I think Autumn has settled in for good today in the South, it is dull, wet and cold - perfect for staying in and crafting!

I have decided to try and join in with the Funkie Junkie challenge (sponsored by the Funkie Junkie Boutique Store) to make a Christmas tag each week based on the inspiration given. I am a bit behind, but here is my take on Week One.

To make the tag I used black card which I stamped and embossed snowflakes onto using WOW Embossing Powder. I edged the tag with a white inkpad to give it a chalky look.The baubles are from a fabulous set FREE! with Simply Cards and Papercraft Magazine this month. Again these were embossed with Bright White Embossing Powder from WOW! The holly leaves are stamped and coloured with Distress Markers and I added a felt snowflake and a pearl to finish.

1 down - 11 to go!

Merry, but not so bright!

This week has been a hard one with yet another round of antibiotics for a throat infection! Hoping now I will be on the mend.  I have been spending time indoors crafting this week and made this Christmas card today. I bought these Woodware stamps on Ebay, they are still in good condition and stamp perfectly.

I coloured in some of the image with Promarkers and a metallic pen and then added buttons. The sentiment is a rub on. I have to say I think this makes a very stylish card.
