Hi Guys

From 0900 this morning until Tuesday (the start of the next challenge), Tuesday Taggers are on a mission. This mission is simply a blog hop to celebrate the birthday of St Nicholas, who in Europe is also known as Father Christmas and celebrate the Birthday of fellow Tuesday Tagger Avril.

You should have come here from the lovely Debbies blog. For this we have chosen an image from Teri's website and used it to create our entry. Because it is for Christmas I have chosen a reindeer with pressie.

I have teamed this up with lots of yummy SU! goodies. I have used the On Board Journal with Very Vanilla cardstock that I have sponged with Real red ink and gone round the edges with Old Olive ink. I have used the faux bleach effect by flicking water on my inked up piece to create 'bleached' out spots.

I have coloured the image with my Stampin' Write markers and added fine galaxy glitter and dazzling diamonds to give bit of bling to it. I have also used the snowflake from the Wondrous Gift stampset and embossed with clear powder and also with white craft ink.

I hope you enjoy this hop and will come back again soon.

The letter you need to collect from me is D. So leave me a comment and hop on over to the lovely Lyn.

Until next time

Happy Crafting

Tuesday Taggers - Christmas Carol

Hi Guys

Well when I first saw this challenge title I wondered what on earth I could do for this. In the end though it took my hubby to convince me of what to do. He didn't do this by telling me what to make or what carol to choose, he did it by just being his lovable self. He is one that believes that Christmas should start on 24th December and end on 26th December. With this in mind here is my piece of work for this weeks challenge. I didn't choose a traditional Christmas carol like Janet did, or go with a picture of carolers singing, no instead I went with Charles Dickens 'A Christmas Carol' and Bah Humbug.

I have used, (believe it or not), Real Red ink and Old Olive ink and coloured the card with sponges. I have then used water and flicked it on to the card stock to achieve the faux bleach effect. Unfortunately I don't have a stamp set small enough to do the text so I cut this out on my machine. The holly leaves are cut out by hand, as are the berries. The berries have been made by punching into Real Red cardstock with the crop-o-dile. I have finished off the berries and letters with Crystal Effects.

Well until my next post happy crafting.
