Linda's Tag Challenge, number 11

Good morning, well here's my 11th pennant for my festive Christmas bunting inspired by the fabulous 'Funkie Junkie's 12 tags of Christmas challenge. I really can't wait to put my bunting up now just in time for the big day, I'll be posting my last project tomorrow with pictures of the bunting 'in situ'  lol.  If you want to find out all about the challenge pop over and have a look at Linda's blog here, you can check out her gorgeous 11th tag here too. The challenge is sponsored by the Funkie Junkie Boutique so there are some fab prizes up for grabs. 

I've created the background using a music stamp from Stampers anonymous, stamped with black archival ink, a large holly flourish from Chocolate Baroque stamped with versamark and embossed with clear EP and then lots of vintage photo distress ink. The leaves are die cut, treated with the same technique and then dipped in UTEE as are the berries. The poinsettia is a spellbinders die cut inked with a little vintage photo distress ink. I've added some lace from the Funkie Junkie Boutique, a seam binding bow and a little sentiment - it doesn't show up too well on the pic but its stamped on shink plastic and then popped into hot UTEE (I just love this technique)

I'm entering this one in the following challenges:

ABC Christmas: Favourite punch or die

Decorate to Celebrate: Christmas

Die Cuttin Divas: Holiday Spirit

Fab'n'Funky: Vintage Christmas

Sisterhood of Crafters: Christmas with a stamped background

Phew, as always I'm doing a happy dance cos its Friday (well I would be if I had an ounce of energy lol). One more week at work and then I finish for Christmas yippppppeeeeee. On the downside that means only one more week to finish the shopping, wrap the pressies, write the cards, I'd better stop now before I go into all out Christmas panic. I'm sure everything will get done, it always does and now i'd better go and brave the weather and get myself to work

Thanks for visiting today, hope you have a good day
