Christmas Gift Tags

 

Hi Crafty Friends,

Today starts a new challenge over at The Paper Shelter Challenge Blog and it's our Christmas Break challenge.

I created two gift tags using the pre-coloured images called Christmas Delivery and Christmas Eve Wishes. I printed them on thin photo paper and cut one of them with a stitched square die and matted it on red cardstock that I cut with a vintage foto edge photo guillotine cutter and the other one is cute with a lovely shaped die and matted on green cardstock. In the corner I adhered a little star and used my crop-a-dile to add a gold coloured eyelet. To finish the tags I added some bakers twine so it can hang on the present or even on the Christmas tree.

On Air!

 

Hi Crafty Friends!

Today starts a new challenge over at The Paper Shelter. This weeks theme is "CAS".

I created a birthday card for my sister. She loves to sing and has her own band so this is a great image to use for her. The image is called "On Air!" and I coloured it with Promarkers. I love the colours green and mustard yellow together just like the turning of the leaves from green to yellow. As it's clean and simple I didn't use much items to create the card. A white card base and an glitter gold mat to give it some extra colour. Along the edges of the top layer I added a stitched bordeer with a green Polychromo pencil. The sentiment was created in PhotoShop.
