Nine "Ladies" Dancing

 Today I am sharing a card that I made continuing with  a Twelve Days of Christmas series that I began some time ago but never completed.  I am picking up with Nine Ladies Dancing from the set called "Twelve Days of Christmas" from Creative Stamping magazine that I got last Christmas. Using masking technique,  I stamped the Dancing Pig 5 times on the front and 4 times on the inside (below)with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored the nine ladies with Copics Markers.  That way I covered all Nine Ladies. I decided that the dancing ladies would hold a banner wishing Merry Christmas.  I heat embossed the sentiment from my stash with Gold EP on vellum, fussy cut the words, and strung the banner on  metallic gold thread. I stamped the words beneath the dancers on the front and added a New Year sentiment to the inside.  Finished with a Red card base.

Having Another Barbecue

Welcome to my studio. I was inspired to create another tag for the  Tag You're It! Challenge #95 which has a Barbecue Theme.  I used a grill stamp from a Paper Pretties set that I stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink on white card stock and colored with Copics and a Silver Pen. I added some fire to the grill with Diamond Stickles.  I added some sentiments using some old stamps from my stash.  After trimming  the tag and rounding the corners with a punch, I added  a circle, exclamation point, and strip cut from a scrap of Red glitter flocked paper to give some texture.  Finished the tag with a red metallic string.  Will use this tag for a birthday gift.

Hot Air Balloon Flipped

 Hello!  I am hopping from holiday to holiday!  I have a second post  today for a Christmas card that I made for Mod Squad Challenge Flip Flop to take a stamp you would normally use for one purpose, and use it for another.    I have used a Repeat Impressions Hot Air Balloon stamp and actually flipped it to become a Christmas ornament.  I stamped 3 times with Versamark and heat embossed with Gold EP and colored with markers.  I added Gold Metallic thread to hang the ornaments and finished with some metallic ribbon and a Sentiment from Creative Clear stamps.
