How wonderful are these images for your inspiration this week from Hand Stamped Sentiments. Do you still have enough time to make cards or tags? Even though I start early I still seem to find I don't have enough time to do all the crafting I would like to for Christmas.
I chose to do a tag for my project this week. I started off by stamping the wonderful moon from Stampin Up's To The Moon in Going Gray - a very old ink but still going strong. I then blended around the moon with four or five Tim Holtz distress inks using Stormy Sky, Chipped Sapphire, Tumbled Glass, Iced Spruce. I used Peeled Paint and Crushed Olive for the greens at the bottom of the tag.
I used the lovely little set Here Comes Santa from Sunny Studios for the Santa image and the trees. I stamped the trees in Versafine Clair Shady Lane. I added some Distress Grit Paste in Snowfall for the snow at the bottom of the tag. The tag was cut out of a Tim Holtz tag die. Some splatters of gesso for snow finished off this little tag. The sentiment is from Visible Image stamp set Sentimental Christmas.
I would like to wish you all a healthy and happy Christmas and New Year. Thank you for visiting my blog over the past year - I think crafting has kept a lot of us sane during these difficult times and I know I've been very grateful for it.
