Be Joyful Tag

Another tag from this fabulous kit at Gecko Galz

I love anything plaid, so this tag was perfect to use.

I cut it out + put a black cardstock backing on it.

A Christmas music sheet, thats been distressed edged, + highlighted in red dye ink

A fussy cut candy cane + wreath that has 3d pop dots to pop off the tag

Punched a hole on top, added a brass eyelet, then strung through red + gold metallic cord. I added a red bell to the cord as a final touch.

Now its all ready for that perfect touch on a present!

This is Halloween Dec 3 Challenge

 

Halloween in Dec? Absolutely!

My DT creation for the Dec challenge.

I chose this cool vintage photo design from 

liliraindesigns.blogspot.com  

Moon + Stars

I stenciled a 10" canvas with stars + modelling paste

Then I added the wood moon + stars. Painted everything white, then using distress sprays, added the background color.

Edged the canvas using distress inks + wax pastes

I also added aged brass wax paste on the moon and stars

The shadows are black matte wax paste

After distressing the edges of the photo, I adhered it to the canvas

Lastly, I took a chipboard quote chip, sprayed it with distress spray, highlighted it in aged brass wax, then glued it to the top of the canvas

Arty Divas Challenge Dec 2020


 This month, as a DT for Arty Divas, the Dec challenge is Anything Goes.

I created a cute Christmas ornament with the help of the Snarky Cats

The base is a slice of birch wood.

I stamped the cat design directly onto the wood using a black permanent ink, then colored it in using distress markers

Stamped the background snowflakes in blue distress ink, then added a bit of glitter glue

Stamped the verse on some coffee dyed paper, cut out, then glued it to a piece of plaid ribbon.

Used the same plaid ribbon to make a hanger
