Funkie Junkie 12 tags of Christmas #1

Last year I aimed to complete Linda’s 12 tags but life got in the way but I am determined I am gonna do it this year if I possibly can. If you haven’t seen this challenge at The Funkie Junkie then start HERE at no:1 which is where I am at, so I already have a bit of catching up to do. Linda has the full details on her tag 1 post but in essence make a tag or card etc. and take something as inspiration from Linda’s tag for your own make, link this up to her post and enter all 12 challenges by December 22nd to be eligible for the draw. Linda is very generous with her prizes so you could win a $50 or $25 voucher to her on-line store ‘The Funkie Junkie Boutique’ and even get 10% discount over January 2014. So that’s a great deal right?

My inspiration comes from the black and white chalkboard style with a little pop of red and green. You might just be able to make out the music score stamped with crystal white pigment ink under the tree image. I also sprayed the background with Dylusions white linen.

The tree stamp is from Paperbag Studios stamped onto dictionary paper painted with white acrylic and I used a tearing ruler on the edges and walnut stain distress ink.

The lampost is a Tim Holtz favourite stamped in clear embossing ink and white EP and the flower is from the TH tattered flower garland die and the little holly leaves are from memory box.

Some snippets of tissue tape, some punched snowflakes and a wooden word painted with festive berries distress stain complete this. My second Christmas card for this year made.

I hope you have a good week, I have cat number 2 poorly this week with what seems to be a cough and maybe a sore throat? I hope it’s nothing more than that anyway.

Take care and be creative when you can, especially if you are taking Tim's Creative Chemistry 2 course. I did manage to dip in last night but need to get cracking today.
