Christmas tag

I got this lovely freebie from Helen at Ellephantastic and so wanted to use it. So here is my tag. I used black magic core'dinations paper which I tore to show the blue edge. I put a layer of distress crackle paint over the top if it. In between the strips I added glitter and drew some stars. The sentiment is computerised and coloured to match. The bear is shaded with gray and blue. I finished it with some blue and white fibres. I am entering it into these challenges:

1. Ellephantastic - distressed

2. Stamp Something = Christmas in July

3. Our creative Corner - Christmas in July

4. Practical Scrappers - include ONE or number 1

5. Cupcake Crafts - distressing

6. Tuesday Taggers - mostly black

Copic Creations and CRAFT Challenge

The challenge over at Copic Creations is to use shades of gold. I have only one shade of copic - Y17 called golden yellow so that's what I used. This is one of my new stamps I got at the Kings Hall yesterday. I added some red and grey highlights. The edge is stained with distress inks and glitter added for sparkle. Made a gold tag top, punched a rivet and added a ribbon. The back is covered in red so I can added the recipients name. The corners where rounded using fancy cut scissors. Have to say it looks much sparklier in real life, had to put through scanner as its completely dark and my batteries are too low to work flash.

The challenge over at CRAFT has a recipe this week : 1 tag, 1sentiment and 1 ribbon. Think this fits the bill nicely.
