Day  27

I saw this card by Kittie that I just loved!  This is my take on her card.

Thanks for stopping by!
 
To see my other 31 Days Challenges for this year:

CAS(E) this Sketch #47& cQc#208

After seeing this card I decided to give these challenges a try.  So I got out my washi tape and my halloween stamp set that just came in the mail on Thursday!  This is what I came up with:

What's that you say you don't see any washi tape?  Hmm, weird because it was on my table, this is the second time in a week I had a plan in mind and something else is what I ended up with!  Is that a sign of a genius?  I think so!  ;)

I used distress mustard seed on the moon.  I stamped and colored the image and the sentiment with distress pumice stone. I used walnut stain distress marker(DM) for the broom, tattered rose DM for the face and DM pumice stone for the rest of the image.   The more I look at this the more I like the clouds, I used cut and dry foam inked with pumice stone and brushed it on.  I think they look wispy. 

You know what?  Now that I am typing this out I realize I used more than the three colors for the cQc oops!  I guess I won't be linking to that challenge after all!  You can tell I obviously don't know how to count past three!   :)

Stamps are from Waltzing Mouse-Gracie at Halloween

O Holy Night Tag

Honestly my first thought after seeing the mirror that I used on yesterday's tag was on this layout.  After looking at this picture I will be changing out the ribbon but over all, I like how this turned out.  The mirror star really reflects the light when hanging.

Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah


All supplies from PTI except for Mirror 

Ellen Hutson's 12 Tags of Christmas with a Feminine Twist

12 Tags of Christmas with a Feminine Twist 2012 - Day 4 by Jennifer McGuire

It was love at first sight with Jennifer's tag!  I ran right out and purchased the mirror and I had everything else on hand.  One thing though, have you ever tried to take a picture of a mirror and not be in the picture?  Try it.  It is not that easy.  :)

In real life it is very shiny and pretty!

My Version of Tim's day 4 Christmas Tag

This was a fun technique to do.  These new stains are great. I tried to do this background with just the stamp pads and a spritz of water but it just didn't do what the stains do.  So I ran to the LSS and bought some more stain. I am really starting to like the glossy accents glue also used inside the number 25. 

Thanks for looking!

Celebrate the Season Christmas Tag

I was checking out the Tim Holtz blog about a month ago and he had a link to Tammy Tutterow's post with a really cool technique with De-bossing and Crackle paint.  I will be using this technique again for sure!

Christmas Tag Day One

This my version of these two tags: Tim Holtz and Shelly Hickox

They both have excellent instructions on their sites so check them out and give it a try!  Leave me a comment and a link to your blog if you make one, I would love to see it!

Happy Crafting,
