12 Tags of Christmas with a Feminine Twist 2016 Challenge

I'm back with probably my last tag for Ellen Hutson's 12 Tags of Christmas with a Feminine Twist. There's just not enough time to make all the tags that I would like!



For this tag I was inspired by the sketch on day 7 and Melania's use of gold.

I created stripes with two different shades of green using water colour paint. Using one of my fave wreath stamps from Wplus9 I added gold berries with Delicata ink and accents with gold glitter glue.



For the sentiment I used my Dymo label maker and I wanted just a pop of red so I added a cardinal to the wreath.

Hope you have a crafty weekend!

12 Tags of Christmas With A Feminine Twist 2016

I managed to make another tag for Ellen Hutson's 12 Tags of Christmas with a Feminine Twist and this tag was inspired by day 4 and Jennifer's tag with the stitched background and using felt.

I used stitching dies from MFT on my tag and I die cut the Poppystamps stitched poinsettia layers from hot pink felt.

I added a mess of silver thread behind the flower and white heat embossed the sentiment.

12 Tags of Christmas with a Feminine Twist 2016 Challenge

I have another tag for Ellen Hutson's 12 Tags of Christmas with a Feminine Twist. This time I was inspired by Joni's tag on day 3 and her use of a scalloped oval frame on her tag and by the shape of Carissa's banner tail tag as well as the foil theme.

I used a bookmark die for my tag shape and stamped snowflakes and my sentiment on it. I die cut the WPlus9 tree from foam adhesive and covered it with rainbow foil. Love how bright and happy the tree is. I mounted the tree onto my scalloped frame and finished off with the sequined thread.

Hope you're having a crafty day!

12 Tags of Christmas with a Feminine Twist 2016 Challenge

I have a tag today for Ellen Hutson's 12 Tags of Christmas with a Feminine Twist Challenge.  I was inspired by Julia's tag on day 2 with her deer and her use of chunky glitter and the colour pink.

I used pink card stock for my tag and loosely covered a snow bank with white chunky glitter. I die cut two trees from felt and the little deer was die cut from wood paper.

Ellen Hutson Pin-Sights Challenge

I'm squeezing in a card for Ellen Hutson's Pin-Sights Challenge. Here's the inspiration pic.

Lots of florals and beautiful colours!

I used the Essentials by Ellen Wild Garden Die Set for my card. I die cut one of the smaller flowers numerous times from water colour paper and used Distress Inks on them and adhered them to a square card base.

I cut a piece of vellum slightly smaller than the card to soften the background flowers but I still find them a little too bright and distracting. I think I should have used lighter shades of ink on them.

The largest flower from the Wild Garden set was die cut from water colour paper as well, inked up and sprayed with Perfect Pearls. For the flower centre I put a blob of glossy accents and sprinkled on some iridescent beads. I also added a couple of vellum leaves to finish off the flower and the sentiment is from gold foil paper.

Mix It Up

I have a card today for Ellen Hutson's Mix It Up Challenge which is to use any Essentials by Ellen product with a Technique Tuesday product.

 

I recently got Julie's Wild Garden die set and this is my first time playing with it. I did some water coloring on the flower and leaves and added a few vellum die cuts to the design.

The thank you sentiment is from Technique Tuesday and is one of my favorites because of the wonderful hand writing (it's way better than mine)!

12 Tags With a Feminine Twist

I'm back with another tag for Ellen Hutson's 12 Tags of Christmas with a Feminine Twist.  This tag is inspired by Sandy Allnock's tag from day 9 here.

I liked Sandy's sweet winter scene and her colour combo of blue and pink.  I used Distress Paint for my background and added tiny white stars.  The deer and trees are from Impression Obsession and for some sparkle I added Stardust Stickles to the snowy hill.

Ellen Hutson 12 Tags

I have a tag today for Ellen Hutson's 12 Tags of Christmas with a Feminine Twist Challenge.  My tag was inspired by Julie Ebersole's day 1 tag here.

I was inspired by Julie's ombre background, using a wreath and adding touches of gold.  I die cut a WPlus9 wreath in white and gold, added texture to the white piece with an embossing folder and offset the gold wreath behind the white one.  The background was done with Distress Paint and I added a few (too many) gold stars.

Fly a Kite

My second post today and final project for the Ellen Hutson LLC Hero Arts Clear Take 'n Make Challenge and for Simon Says Anything Goes Challenge,

A simple card with some stamping, colouring and embossing.  Not sure if I like the plaid embossed clouds, though they do add some great texture to the card.

It's All About the Glitter

Happy New Year everyone!



Just popping in for a quick post today.  I made a card for the Ellen Hutson LLC Hero Arts Cling Take 'n Make Challenge and for Simon Says Anything Goes Challenge.



I picked the colour combo of pool and red for this card just so I could use some glitter I got for Christmas.  It's  the Stickles Dry Glitter in Lagoon.  This colour is sooooo gorgeous, such a rich jewel tone, the camera just doesn't capture all  its glittery goodness.

Thanks for stopping by!
