That's it - I'm officialy in countdown to Christmas mode. This is my favourite time of the year to craft and I love making Christmas cards and tags - I've yet to be brave enough to try some of the home decor the Tim Holtz girls make but maybe one day.
Until then I'll continue with the cards and here's one for the Christmas Card Throwdown who gave us this sketch to work with
I used some scrap paper to blank off the section to represent the panels and stamped a Tim Holtz sentiment and this lovely little Santa and sleigh by Sunny Studio. I covered the rest of the card in Chipped Sapphire Distress Oxide ink with a touc of Black Soot at the very top. The colour is much richer in real life. I then took a Tim Holtz stencil and Stampin Up Silver Embossing paste to stencil the lovely stars.
