So I got this grungy stamp set and thought the barbed wire circle would make a great funky punky Christmas wreath. And I still had the metallic hammered paper out from making my tag for my guest spot on Loll's Twelve Tags of Christmas so I die-cut some stars, silver-embossed a sentiment, added some gems and some gorgeous black and silver striped handmade paper.
I'm entering this one into the following challenges:
Virginia's View - All Things Metallic
CAS(E) This Sketch (slightly rearranged)
Pan Pastel - Add Some Bling
So then I made a gold version using black/gold patterned paper, sequins, washers and gems.
I'm entering this second one into the following challenges:
TIME OUT (wreath, gold overtones)
Inkspirational
Paper Crafts & Scrapbooking November Gallery Challenge - Gold.
I got my Flickr Knickrs in a knot a couple of months ago when Yahoo spat the dummy and I had to create a new Yahoo ID. I ended up with multiple personalities, and they weren't all talking to each other. But I'm glad to say we are now all one happy family, and I've been able to start using Flickr again :)
Fabulous! Love both of them!
