Welcome friends! As you can tell, I've been skipping around with Linda's (The Funkie Junkie) 12 Tags of Christmas challenge. Today I'm posting week 7 (see Linda's inspiring tag HERE) which I made quite a long time ago, so my details may be fuzzy.Linda's 12 week challenge is so much fun, and I really look forward to it each year! The challenge is generously sponsored by The Funkie Junkie Boutique; 3 lucky winners will receive gift certificates for a shopping spree to the shop, and everyone who completes the challenge and follows the simple guidelines will receive a discount coupon to use on their January Funkie Junkie orders!
And the Ornate Frame is one of my favorite dies, and I embossed it with Hammered Metal embossing powder, just as Linda did. I didn't have the same stamp for the greeting as Linda (I do now! I added to my Christmas greeting stamp stash at The Funkie Junkie's Cyber weekend sale!) This one is an old one from my stash. I used a stitched oval die cut, but otherwise finished my framed greeting the same as Linda.
I really loved Linda's poinsettia, and I did my best to copy that, but I think I fell short. I used Winter's Mistake and Hammered Metal embossing powder on my greenery. I really love Linda's chunky glitter she used. My bow is two toned, also, but the darker blue is vintage seam binding from my Mom's stash. I put my design tape on a strip of black card stock under my floral cluster.
That's all for me today!
I'm sharing with these challenges:

This is a wonderful CASE of Linda's tag, I LOVE the gorgeous background, the colours are wonderful and your poinsettia is so, so beautiful and the frame is such a perfect addition! Hugs, Anne xx
ReplyDeleteLove your casing of Linda's tag - your card is gorgeous! I love all of your embossed elements and envy your collection of embossing powders! Your crackled texture on your sentiment is perfect. Your version is every bit as awesome as Linda's. Hugs!
ReplyDeleteA delightful card-CASEing of Linda's design - it really does work beautifully. I've always hopped around in order in previous years, but I can't deal with the confusion this year (I almost missed one out altogether once) so I'm doing them strictly in order so far! This one's made but yet to be blogged - that's another whole timing headache in itself!!
