December


Here's my last tag for The Craft Barn Calendar Challenge week 12 where the theme is EMBOSSING.


I've gold embossed the large Poinsettia stamp from Oak House Studio twice - once on the tag and just the central part on other card to create a layer.  It's a great stamp to decoupage but my tag calendar is getting a bit fat as it is so I've stuck with one layer!!   The background is blended Bundled Sage and Pine Needles Distress Inks with part of Darkroom Door's Christmas Word Block stamped in Emerald Green Archival.  It's just finished with the calendar and some ribbon.

Thank you everyone for looking and for your comments.  It's been an enjoyable 12 weeks!!  Next Sunday I think there'll be a link to add a photo of all 12 months - I'm looking forward to that and seeing what everyone else has created.

Meanwhile, hope all your Christmas plans are going well and items are being ticked off lists!

  6. Love how you've used the poinsettia stamp Elaine, it looks stunning. I know what you mean about using too many layers as I now need a jumbo ring for mine! Great text stamp at the bottom too. It's been fun visiting you over the last 12 weeks and thank you for your support too.
