( mine is very different this time)

 

 

my inspiration came from Santa and the wonderful flower with bingo token centre..

 

I started by stamping this fab little star in clear and clear embossing then

inking tag in brown DI, and spritz and flick ..

and roughening edge with tonic tool and inking.

 

this fab Santa component stamp is stamped on sticky back canvas.

lightly inked around the edges

 

 

I added kraft snowflakes with wooden star centres.

got a bit of a thing about these stars!!!

 

 

I added crochet lace to continue the neutral and natural colours and feel..

finally a flower cut as Linda's..cut from unbleached calico

and the centre a rusted bingo piece..

could I find no 25.....NO!!!!

 

 

not at all like Linda's but definitely inspired by many elements of her tag..

and edged with walnut stain DI

and lashings of picket fence..

and a layer of thin rock candy crackle paint

 

note to self: remember to stick the text up the right way next time!!!!
