Small art...

Well today had to be small art as like everyone else I was certainly small on the amount of time available. A trip to Argos to buy Christmas lights ended up being a major shopping spree and I returned home with all manor of things that I never knew I needed. Why did I buy a laughing Santa? Is hysteria setting in?

Anyway I have loads of presents to wrap so my small art for the challenge at http://artygirlzchallengeblog.blogspot.com/ is a gift tag made using a Wizard tag die and my new Cuttlebug tree embossing and cutting die and folder. The tree with the holes has gold gems added but they are not showing up very well.

Ah well only another - phew too many to think of - presents to wrap now!! Hmm have a feeling they may not all get handmade gem embossed tags on them. LOL!!

Tags...

Our challenge this week at Ooh-la-la-Creations is tags and there is a whole host of tags as a blog candy prize for one lucky person who enters the challenge. Do pop over over there and have a look.

There is also a few notes (I won't call it a tutorial cause I'm not that professional) and pictures showing how to create a tag folder card like the ones above.

All the images and rose background paper I used are from the 'Passion for Fashion' CD by Ooh-la-la-Creations.

Acetate Challenge

I just had to join in with this challenge for so many reasons. For one thing it's being set by one of the crafters who inspired me both to join in challenges and start my own blog and for another thing it involves acetate. I love acetate nearly as much as rubber stamps!!!

This the first challenge on Rainbow Lady's Challenge Blog - and the theme is to use acetate in your work.

My image is taken from a silhouette I found on the internet and printed on to acetate. This was then attached with brads on to shaded glitter card. I wanted a soft effect so mounted the whole lot on to a vellum overlay on a gold card.

My first Christmas card - oh I am going to be so organised this year!!!
