Good morning my lovelies, sorry i've been a wee bit quiet this week - as always I've been soooo busy at work but also my DS has had a job interview .... after struggling to find regular work for years he has finally been offered a full time job so I'm over the moon for him! We had a couple of glasses of bubbly to celebrate last night so I'm feeling a little bit delicate this morning lol. Anyway its Friday again so its time for another fun challenge at Polkadoodles and this week we've got a fun tag theme going on. Make sure you pop over to the challenge blog to find out all about the fab prize and check out the amazing inspiration from my lovely teamies.
I've used 4 tags made from red cardstock stuck together to create a luminary and added 4 images coloured with Graph'It Markers. I would never have thought of this idea, but my lovely teamie Judith over at Chocolate Baroque created one of these a few weeks ago so I thought I'd have a bash and make one. The images are from the fab Here Comes Christmas Cd. The backing paper is from the same cd and I've added some snowflake vellum to the die cut apertures. I've popped a battery operated tea light in side and topped it some some scraps of ribbon and lace. Here are some pics of the gorgeous images I've used
I'm entering this project in the following challenges:
All Crafts: anything but a card
Allsorts: Christmas Cheer
Fab'n'Funky: traditional Christmas Colours
Flourishes Timeless Tuesday: use a negative die cut
Gem of a Challenge: Christmas is coming
Little Red Wagon: Christmas tag
Through the purple haze: anything goes
Have a good day and thanks for popping by
